The Pakistan Bar Association restored the license of Farogh Naseem, who stepped down as law minister to represent Gen Bajwa.
The CJP had told him yesterday that the court didn’t want to waste time on a side issue to let the institution of army suffer and asked Naseem to settle the licence issue or come with an associate if he wanted to argue on COAS behalf.
After the hearing resumed, the AG submitted the summary of the draft notification prepared by the government yesterday. Upon examining the summary, the CJP berated the attorney general over the mention of the Supreme Court's proceedings in the draft notification.
"Bear your own burden, why do you use our name?" Justice Khosa asked. "Do your own work, why do you drag us in the middle?"
He directed the attorney general to eliminate the mention of the court from the summary, saying: "The court's name has been used so we cannot even point out what's wrong."
