This is not the decorum of the court. The rest must take a seat. If this situation persists, I will not hear this case. “
Nab Javed Arshad’s special prosecutor requested four weeks to prepare, noting that he was appointed only one day and the case involved long volumes of records.
Barrimer Safdar argued that under the leadership of Sardar Muzaffar Abbasi, NAB had already notified his prosecution team, and on June 5, prosecutor Rafay Maqsood had declared that they were not ready to discuss.
Barríster Safdar also pointed out that one of the convicted is a woman and, according to the practice, the prayers of women are often suspended.
He asked the Court to grant them the opportunity to begin their case, saying that it would only guarantee transparency.
Arshad replied that he deserved a “fair opportunity” to prepare, since he had never been part of the case before. I need time to review the record, he said.
