Larger SC bench set to hear pleas against audio leaks commission

The Supreme Court is all set to resume hearing the petitions against the audio leaks inquiry commission today at noon.

A five-member larger bench headed by the chief justice of Pakistan will conduct the hearing.

The federal government and the inquiry commission have raised objections over the bench.

Objections were also raised against Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Ata Bandial, Justice Ijazul Ahsan and Justice Muneeb Akhtar.

On the previous hearing, the court had directed the registrar’s to register the various petitions against the bench.

Meanwhile, an applicant in the contempt of court petition against the audio leaks commission filed an appeal against the Supreme Court registrar’s objections.

Petitioner Riaz Hanif maintained that the Justice Qazi Faez Isa-led commission had overruled the order of the Supreme Court.

It seeks contempt of court action against the commission members for violating the court order.

The objections to the contempt of court application should be removed and scheduled for hearing, it further requested.
