At the start of the court proceedings the bench directed the DSP present in the courtroom to arrest both the officials and send them to jail for violating orders of the Supreme Court and beating a person in the court premises.
On the direction of the court Muhammad Irfan was produced before the court. The bench released the detainee and directed the NAB not to harass him. After their arrest the two NAB officials were sent to Police Station Secretariat in a police van.
The Chairman NAB appeared before the court and explained that the manhandling was done without his knowledge and action would be taken against those responsible after conducting an inquiry.
The Chief Justice observed, “NAB is not above the law. Every one has to respect orders of the court. No one will be spared for violating court orders.”
Chairman NAB tendered an apology and the court directed the Chairman NAB to submit a report before the next date of hearing of the main case. The bench also directed journalists who witnessed the incident to submit their affidavits.
