Maryam Nawaz expresses concern over CJP hearing case of mother-in-law

Lahore, May 27 (IANS) PML-N Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz said it is not acceptable that a son-in-law should hear the case against the mother-in-law.

She was referring to the several audio leaks -- including the one allegedly involving the Chief Justice of Pakistan's (CJP) mother-in-law -- whose cases were to be heard by a commission led by a senior Supreme Court judge and two Chief Justices of high courts, The News reported.

But the CJP formed a five-member bench, led by him, to hear the cases and stayed the proceedings of the government-backed judicial panel.

One of the audio leaks involves a conversation of CJP's mother-in-law.

Writing on her social media account, Maryam expressed strong concern over the CJ Supreme Court of Pakistan hearing the case of his mother-in-law. This is a clear case of conflict of interest.

Underlining that no one can be a judge in his own cause, she said that cannot be possible, The News reported.
