“Challenging legislation made in the Parliament in courts is not an attempt to weaken the parliament,” Justice Shah asked.

A member of the Parliament is representative of the masses and is boycotting the Parliament by the lawmaker right move?

How will it be assumed that the case is related to the public interest, Justice Mansoor Ali Shah asked and added are people protesting and making hue and cry against the Nab amendments?

CJP in his remarks said every political leader takes the side of the constitution to endorse his actions. “Boycotting Parliament by PTI was their political move.”

Later, the hearing of the case was adjourned until Feb 14.
