Lahore: Imran Khan Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has warned that foreign investors may be getting troubling message after Pakistani government’s decision to not accept Supreme Court’s decision in Punjab polls delay case. Khan’s comments came after government demanded that Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial step down, claiming that his position had become “Controversial” after Justice Athar Minallah’s note in case.

Also, what msg is being sent to foreign investors when govt itself is not accepting SC decisions? Investors need security of contracts & that means faith in judicial system. What confidence can they have when govt itself casting aside SC orders? This happens in a banana republic.

Justice Minallah stated that Supreme Court’s suo motu notice over delay in announcement of provincial assembly elections was dismissed by majority 4-3 ruling. This ruling was rejected by government, who labeled it “Minority verdict”, with National Assembly also passing resolution against top court.
