ISLAMABAD – The Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar heard the Jahangir Tareen disqualification case on Thursday and asked whether whatever critcisim erupts outside the court is worth appreciation.

He remarked that their tolerance should be credited, and affirmed that the justice and honour of the apex court will not be affected despite criticism.

The Attorney General of Pakistan argued before the Supreme Court bench that Tareen had admitted to adopt unfair means to earn Rs 70 million and raised no objection on the action carried out by SECP.

CJ told that SECP had fined Tareen over misconduct which he paid eventually. Tareen’s lawyer opined that SC is allowed by law to run judicial review for any law.
