The PML-N has said in recent days that two top court judges, Justice Ijaz ul Ahsan and Justice Mazahar Naqvi, are prejudiced towards the PML-N. Saying that it does not expect justice from these judges, the party has asked the judges to recuse themselves from cases in which PML-N is a party. Both judges are part of the larger bench which will take up the suo motu notice today.
