Lahore, (Samajweekly) PML-N Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz said it is not acceptable that a son-in-law should hear the case against the mother-in-law.
She was referring to the several audio leaks — including the one allegedly involving the Chief Justice of Pakistan’s (CJP) mother-in-law — whose cases were to be heard by a commission led by a senior Supreme Court judge and two Chief Justices of high courts, The News reported.
But the CJP formed a five-member bench, led by him, to hear the cases and stayed the proceedings of the government-backed judicial panel.
One of the audio leaks involves a conversation of CJP’s mother-in-law.
Writing on her social media account, Maryam expressed strong concern over the CJ Supreme Court of Pakistan hearing the case of his mother-in-law. This is a clear case of conflict of interest.
Underlining that no one can be a judge in his own cause, she said that cannot be possible, The News reported.
