As Mr. Riaz Hanif Rahi, Advocate has not been able to explain his acts, deeds, actions as noted in the judgment announced today, filing of applications, (C.Ms), utterances of contemptuous sentences during the arguments, interruption in Court proceedings, etc., and no satisfactory explanation having been tendered, I hold the contemner to have committee contempt of this Court.
