ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court will consider the apology tendered by a local leader of the Pakistan Peoples Party, Masoodur Rehman Abbasi, facing contempt charges for his derogatory outburst against Chief Justice of Pakistan Gulzar Ahmed in the light of similar decisions taken against Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz lawmakers Danial Aziz, Talal Chaudhry and Nihal Hashmi. The one-page handwritten apology in the Urdu language was read out by Additional Attorney General Sohail Mehmood on Friday before the court, as its copy was not made available to the bench. Headed by Justice Umar Ata Bandial, the four-judge bench had taken up contempt hearing after taking suo motu notice of the matter.
