Video scandal: Apex court reserves verdict in judge Arshad Malik case

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court reserved verdict in the case pertaining to video scandal of former Accountability Court (AC) Judge Arshad Malik, and Chief Justice Asif Saeed Khosa said it will be announced in two to three days.

The chief justice said in his remarks that the federal government is protecting Arshad Malik by not reverting his service to Lahore, and stressed that his conduct brought shame to all judges.

Justice Asif Saeed Khosa said judges of such characters can be blackmailed by many people and expressed annoyance that he visited the suspect’s home after issuing verdict.

“Many aspects regarding Arshad Malik’s character need to be analyzed and the SC will overview the judicial elements itself.”
