The audio clip, which has since made rounds on social media, begins with Khawaja and Saqib exchanging pleasantries before the latter talks about the suo motu and contempt of court cases. The conversation reportedly took place during a meeting between the two individuals, but the exact context of the discussion is yet to be revealed.
AUDIO TEXT:
“Khawaja Sahib! I wanted to make a request to you,” Saqib Nisar can be heard saying this. “Yes! Go ahead,” Khawaja Tariq Rahim replied.
“You must see a judgment. This is a judgment of seven members,” Saqib Nisar said. “Which judgment?” Khawaja Tariq Rahim sought an explanation.
“This is our suo motu,” he replied.
“This is Supreme Court’s 2012 judgment in suo motu, and whoever lawyer is looking that case should read that judgment” he replied.
Khawaja responded that he will definitely see that judgment, adding he has also read another 7-member judgment in which there is also a way out.
On which the former top judge replied, “Yes, I have also read that judgment and that is the only way out we have.”
He went on to say that “ Khawaja sb! “One more thing Khawaja Sahib! If some man of yours is ready, you can use the Munir Ahmad Khan case too. This is a clear case of contempt of court,” Saqib Nisar told Khawaja Tariq Rahim.
“That too will happen,” Khawaja Tariq replied.
