She added that clash of law enforcers with lawyers was unfortunate. The incident outside the court should have not happened, she added.
Earlier, when the accountability court resumed hearing, a commotion by members of the legal fraternity forced the accountability court judge to adjourn today’s proceedings.
Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s daughter Maryam Nawaz and her husband MNA Capt (retd) Safdar reached the judicial complex separately Friday morning.
Senior leaders of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), including cabinet members, were at the scene to receive the former premier’s daughter.
With strict security arrangements in place, police barred non-essential people, including lawyers, from entering the complex. This led to a scuffle with the police, which resulted in the injury to at least one lawyer.
As the hearing went under way, the lawyers began protesting inside the court. They claimed the Islamabad High Court has allowed lawyers to be present inside the judicial complex as well as the accountability court as “it is an open court”.
The lawyers also argued with the deputy attorney general and created a commotion, forcing Judge Mohammad Bashir to leave for his chamber and abort today’s proceedings.
The next hearing will be held on October 19, when the accused will be indicted.
