Islamabad High Court’s Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb presided over the hearing of PTI leader Shireen Mazari’s contempt plea against her rearrest.

During the hearing, Justice Aurangzeb noted that Islamabad police obeyed the orders issued by the deputy commissioner and violated the orders of the court. “This is a fit case for issuing a show cause notice for contempt,” he remarked.

Jail officials were also called to the rostrum and asked whether they had prevented Mazari’s legal team from meeting her. The officials responded that they were allowed to meet the PTI leader on two instances but on the third they were turned away as they had arrived late.

At one point, the judge remarked that the court would issue an “appropriate order”.
