LAHORE: Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar summoned his son-in-law on Sunday for attempting to earn a favour for an official in a child custody case.
The country’s top judge was hearing a case filed against DIG Ghulam Mehmood Dogar at the Supreme Court’s Lahore Registry, when the latter was censured for attempting to use personal connections to influence the court.
DIG Dogar’s ex-wife, a Canadian national, had moved the apex court over the placement of her and their children’s names on the exit control list (ECL). Reportedly, Dogar wanted his ex-wife and children’s name to remain on the no-fly list.
Expressing his displeasure, CJP Nisar questioned the DIG’s audacity to seek an undue favour through the chief justice’s son-in-law, Khalid Rehman.
The top judge stressed that he had waged a war against injustices and, “You are trying to earn favours using a source?”
A chastised Dogar tendered an unconditional apology to the top court, however, Justice Nisar refused to accept it. “I do not want your apology. Tell me who advised you to use personal connection?”
When Rehman appeared before the apex court, he too was censured for attempting to influence the judicial process.
“You are my son at home but right now you are appearing before the Chief Justice of Pakistan,” said the top judge as he inquired who asked Rehman to seek ‘undue favours’.
“I was approached by Dogar,” replied Rehman.
Reiterating his apology, the DIG pleaded the court to not remove his former wife and children’s names from the ECL.
Halting the court proceedings, Justice Nisar later ordered both the parties to see him in his chamber.
