Only just judges will go to heaven: Khosa

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader and lawyer Latif Khosa Monday said that a judge giving his verdict under someone’s influence will go to the hell and only the one, doing justice will be in heaven.

Talking to reporters here outside the Supreme Court, he emphasised that the jurists are answerable to Allah Almighty and only the one giving his verdicts on merit would go to the heaven.

About the apex court proceedings, he maintained that they had put all the complaints before the Supreme Court, submitted evidence, including the related CDs. He alleged that the nomination papers of the candidates, belonging to PTI, were rejected and those, whose names were not included in FIRs, were also ‘punished’.

He said they submitted before the apex court that ensuring level-playing to all was necessary, and that was not the case with reference to his party. The attorney general, he added, also laid emphasis on the conduct of free, fair and transparent elections, being so imperative for the state.

Khosa contended that to ensure implementation of the Constitution is the job of the Supreme Court. He said that the apex court had given directions to the Election Commission, which were not complied with.
