Two Supreme Court judges on Monday withdrew a contempt notice issued a week ago against a senior staff member for not fixing a case regarding the jurisdiction of regular benches.
The decision came as a two-judge bench, comprising Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah and Justice Aqeel Ahmed Abbasi, pronounced its verdict on the contempt proceedings against Additional Registrar (Judicial) Nazar Abbas, who was removed by the court office on Tuesday.
During the hearing, Justice Shah noted that the bench deliberated on two questions — one about delisting cases and the other about invalidating a court order through an administrative order.
He observed, “The court did not find any such proof that showed that the additional registrar (judicial) had any personal interest in the case.”
Noting that neither was any evidence found of any “ill intent” of the SC official, the senior puisne judge announced the withdrawal of the show-cause notice on the contempt of court against Abbas.
