The petitioner, Advocate Maulvi Iqbal Haider, had requested the court to pass an appropriate order against the president and prime minister as both had failed to perform their constitutional duties by disobeying the orders of the Supreme Court and the judicial commission probing the memogate controversy.
The petitioner also requested the court to restrain the prime minister from possibly rescinding his executive order on the judges’ reinstatement.
