The hearing on a request to eliminate the name of the leader of the Baloch Jakjehti (Byc) Mahrung Baloch committee from the Exit Control List (ECL) became intense on Thursday, with a verbal altercation that broke out between the Superior Court of Islamabad (IHC), the President of the Justice Sardar Sarfraz Dogar and the lawyer of the petitioner, the lawyer Magari.
He must keep his mouth closed and remain within the limits of respect, ”said CJ Dogar, irritated by previous comments made by Mazari apparently out of reach of the case. He referred to the call” dictator “and refused to issue any directive on the matter in question.
During the hearing, the court was informed by the deputy attorney general of Pakistan Arshad Kayani, which would need the approval of the cabinet before a conclusive decision could be made by eliminating the name of Mahrung from the ECL.
However, directing his comments in Mazari, CJ Dogar said: “Mrs. Mazari will lower the stairs and hold a program by saying that a dictator is sitting in court.”
Without specifying what comments, the CJ was taking objections, Mazari insisted that his personal opinions were protected by freedom of expression and should not affect the case of his client. “I’m here with a [legal] Brief, not in a personal capacity. “
The heated exchange continued with CJ Dogar warning the lawyer of the petitioner of possible contempt charges. Adding fuel to the fire, he turned to the husband and the fellow lawyer of Mazari, the lawyer Hadi Ali Chatta, and said: “Hadi Sahib, explain it … if you catch it one day …”
Later, Mazari turned to X to retain that he was present in IHC on behalf of his client, not as “Imaan Mazari activist.” She emphasized that she was driving “according to the professional label (and a court should do the same)”.
It is important that CJ IHC understands that I am not an imaan Mazari activist in his court, I am a lawyer who has a report for my client and leads me according to the professional label (and a court should do the same).
The case of Dr. Mahrang Baloch should not suffer for …

During the hearing, Mazari remained unchanged and maintained that the court was now “threatening” the lawyers. “Continue with the contempt procedures,” he said, before the interjection of the attached attorney general with respect to the cabinet.
The audience was postponed without any significant progress in the case.
