ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Monday heard the contempt of court case against PPP leaders, DawnNews reported.

During proceedings, PPP leader Taj Haider presented his written answer to the court.

PPP leader Sharjeel Memon told the court he was busy in budget preparations and his lawyer was out of the country, thus the court should grant him one month’s time.

The Chief Justice remarked that he should find another lawyer and that he became a minister after fighting with the court.

The hearing of the case has been adjourned until May 27.

The Supreme Court issued contempt of court notices to the PPP leaders after they called for a strike in Sindh against the apex court’s decision regarding the appointment of Deedar Hussain Shah as Chairman National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
