LAHORE: Supreme Court Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar on Sunday summoned his son-in-law Khalid Rehman and forced him to apologize for seeking favour for a police officer.
According to Geo News, the chief justice was hearing an application filed by an ex-wife of Deputy Inspector General Police Ghulam Mehmood Dogar who had approached the court after being put on the Exit Control List along with her children.
The CJ also reprimanded the DIG for asking his son-in-law for the favour.
"How dare you think you can get a favour by involving my family member . Who gave you that advice," he asked the DIG.
"I am waging a Jihad," he said.
Shortly after being summoned, the son-in-law of the top judge appeared before the court and sought forgiveness.
"You may be my son-in-law at home, but here you are appearing before Chief Justice of Pakistan," he told Khalid Rehman.
Justice Saqib Nisar asked the DIG to disclose the name of the person who advised him to approach his son-in-law.
The DIG also tendered an unconditional apology for involving the family member of the judge.
Dogar said his decision to approach Khalid Rehman was driven by his desire to meet his children.
