ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) on Thursday decided to indict Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry in a contempt of court case on March 14. A three-member bench of the apex court, headed by Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan, heard the case. During the course of proceedings, Kamran Murtaza, counsel for Talal, said that the CD regarding Talal Chaudhry's alleged controversial speeches was not provided to them, due to which they had not been able to view it yet. He said he would submit reply on behalf of his client after watching the CD. Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan remarked whatever had to happen, had already happened and they could add to their reply in the next hearing. Later, the bench decided to frame charges against the minister on the next hearing on March 14.
