During a hearing of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protest case, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa advocate general raised concerns about containers placed during protests and long marches. He questioned their legality, stating that these containers were put up even before citizens arrived. He requested a notice be issued to the Federal government, claiming he had video evidence of containers outside the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa House.
The advocate general also highlighted the non-implementation of court orders concerning Adiala Jail, noting that orders had been ignored for two years. He asked if citizens didn't have the right to protest against such actions.
Chief Justice Sarfraz Dogar responded by stating that contempt of court matters are between the court and the offender. He added that deciding case lists is within the court's administrative authority.
He rebuked some of the advocate general's arguments, noting, "You have directly attacked the judiciary." In response to a comment from the advocate general that he could do anything as a king, the Chief Justice clarified: "I am the king. We are here to decide according to the law."
