Justice Javed Iqbal, the senior most Judge of the apex Court, will take up the issue in his chamber. Abdul Razzaq, a resident of Abbottabad, through his counsel Muhammad Aslam Ghuman, had moved a petition against former president Pervez Musharraf, Shaukat Aziz and others.
He had prayed that all the respondents be summoned and given exemplary punishment for violating the apex court's November 3, 2007 restraining order which barred the former head of state and then premier from undertaking any action which was contrary to the independence of judiciary.
He maintained that the order also barred judges of the superior judiciary including the chief justices, from taking oath under the provisional constitutional order (PCO). It was also applicable to other state functionaries as well.
