The five-judge council, led by CJP Saqib Nisar, rejected the LHC judge’s plea to be summoned in the witness box to testify his affidavit. You may yourself ask for appearance before the council,” Justice Nisar said to LHC judge Farukh Irfan’s attorney Hamid Khan. The council wondered why the LHC judge was producing lawyers as witnesses before the council. All the witnesses confirmed that they were unaware of the offshore business of the LHC judge. The LHC judge’s legal team told The Express Tribune that Chaudhry would appear as a defence witness on January 9.
