A high-ranking source told the News on Wednesday night: The mention of procedural malpractice against three judges of the Supreme Court is in the card that should be registered in the Supreme Judicial Council and the investigation of this case will continue. Referring to the serious accusations of this judicial official when the heads of the ruling coalition They will meet again today (Thursday), the third summit will be held in less than a week, and among other proposals, another bill to punish "insult of court" is being considered by the parliament. The proposed law is in line with "contempt of court", which carries prison terms and fines.

Tehreek-e-Insaf, which last week formed a team to align with other parties to garner support, was actually created to convince PPP leaders. Some of the disgruntled PPP "headquarters" were already in touch with PTI but lost their influence in the party and failed to change and influence the party, so their mission began. Turns out you can't.
The resolution, prepared by a committee of ministers belonging to the core of the ruling coalition, will once again influence the head of the judiciary to form a full panel to investigate the issue.
Senator Azam Nazir Thaler, Minister of Justice and Justice, is a high-ranking member of the Council of Ministers.
