However, the serenity of the courtroom was perturbed by the uncalled for remarks and allegations which marked the opening address of the Attorney General before the Supreme Court bench hearing the matter. The Attorney General swiftly went on to continue with his arguments having fulfilled the purpose, at least in his mind. Little did he know that he surely had made a valiant attempt at getting the judges on their knees but, in the words of Mr Justice Asif Saeed Khosa, he had spewed venom in the wrong direction. It does not appeal to one’s mind that the comments of the Attorney General were solely made in a personal capacity and not one individual was privy to them beforehand. The matter simply cannot be and should not be put to rest by the mere resignation of the Attorney General.
