Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's lawyer Barrister Ali Zafar boycotted
the hearing due to reservations on the bench of Imran Khan's reservations in
the case of interpretation of Article 63A of the Constitution in the Supreme
Court.

A of the Act is being heard by a 5-member larger bench headed by Chief Justice
Qazi Faiz Isa, the bench includes Justice Jamal Mandukhel, Justice Naeem
Afghan, Justice Aminuddin and Justice Mazhar Alam.
Ali Zafar, the lawyer of founder PTI, said in his arguments
that there was a meeting with the founder PTI on the court order, police
officers were also sitting with him in the meeting, the meeting was not a
meeting between a lawyer and a client.
He said that founder PTI himself has requested to appear on
video link, first it should be known whether founder PTI himself is allowed to
argue or not. But the Chief Justice said that what secret things did you have
to say, you only had to talk about the constitutional issue, Mr. Ali Zafar, you
are making an unjustified request.
Barrister Ali Zafar said that I want to say something on
behalf of Imran, the founder of Tehreek-e-Insaaf. Justice Jamal Mandukhel said that if you want
to talk, do it not from today but from the beginning, to which Barrister Ali
Zafar said that you are not allowing me to talk about what I want to talk.
Chief Justice Qazi Faiz Isa remarked that you are talking
about politics so that it will make headlines tomorrow, to which Barrister Ali
Zafar said that even today there is a headline in the newspaper that
constitutional amendment is mandatory before October 25, to which Justice Qazi
Faiz Isa said. We don't know about that.
Barrister Ali Zafar said that the government is bringing the
constitutional amendment and there is an impression that the court will allow
horse trading, on which the Chief Justice said that we can charge you with
contempt of court on this, yesterday you adopted one method, today another
method is adopted. We respect you, you respect us.
The Chief Justice of Pakistan said that he is giving a very
heavy statement by saying horse trading, what is horse trading? If we tell you,
you will be embarrassed.
The founder PTI's lawyer said that the decision of Article
63A prevents horse trading, on which the Chief Justice said to stop making fun
of the courts, while Justice Jamal Mandukhel said that the court had given its
opinion on 63A. No.
Barrister Ali Zafar said that while boycotting the hearing
of the review appeal related to the interpretation of 63A, the founder of PTI
says that the composition of the bench is not correct, he will not be a part of
it.
The Supreme Court appointed Ali Zafar as a judicial assistant, on which Ali Zafar, while talking to the Chief Justice, said that if you decide the case, there will be a conflict of interest. will form part of the record, can you as a lawyer or court assistant make arguments for us? On which Barrister Ali Zafar said that I can give arguments as a judicial assistant.
