The high court bench in a contempt of court hearing refuted the apology tendered by Sardar Tanveer Ilyas to the court following his speech at a public meeting criticising the stay orders and said the practice was affecting the performance of the government.

Later, the Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Supreme Court also rejected former prime minister Sardar Tanveer Ilyas’ petition against the high court’s decision to disqualify him from the top office.

A full bench headed by AJK SC Chief Justice Raja Saeed Akram had heard the case. The court had dismissed the petition filed to suspend the judgment against the high court’s order and said that the appeal will be heard and decided on merit.

It was a major setback to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) after the AJK High Court removed Ilyas from the post of prime minister, making him the region’s first premier to be disqualified in a contempt of court case.
