Islamabad High Court to form larger bench for contempt proceedings against those running a negative campaign against Justice Babar Sattar.

Islamabad High Court (IHC) will likely form a larger bench to initiate contempt proceedings against those running a negative social media campaign against Justice Babar Sattar. Justice Sattar had requested Chief Justice Aamer Farooq to launch contempt proceedings after personal details of his and his family, including their US residence permits, were posted online. The press release from the IHC stated that Justice Babar Sattar has never had any nationality other than that of Pakistan, and called the campaign "false, malicious, and contemptuous."
