The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday dismissed federal government’s petition against the acquittal of former senator Faisal Raza Abidi in contempt of court case pertaining to the use of hate speech against the Supreme Court.
A two-member bench headed by IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah announced the verdict after deliberating the arguments from both sides presented by prosecution and the defence lawyer. In December 2018, Abidi was arrested from the apex court premises on charges of using derogatory and inappropriate language against former chief justice Mian Saqib Nisar during an interview at a local web channel.—INP
