ISLAMABAD: Justice Khalilur Rehman Ramday took exception to the allegation of bias against him by former attorney-general Latif Khosa and said he will consider withdrawing from the five-member bench scheduled to hear the corruption complaint against Khosa.
The Supreme Court of Pakistan has adjourned the hearing of the corruption complaint against Khosa for an indefinite period following the allegations.
Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry constituted the five-member bench to hear the Khosa case, as well as the cases against the PCO judges.
Meanwhile, Justice Ramday said he will consider withdrawing from the bench. However, he added that he has always been impartial in all cases. He countered the allegations of bias by pointing out that he has always given relief to the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and not once to the Muslim league despite the fact that his brother is a Muslim leaguer. — DawnNewslink....
