Barrister Zafarullah of the Wattan Party says in his petition that the SC had wrongly issued a contempt notice to the PM for his appearance on January 19 because such a notice could not be issued to the PM as he enjoys immunity from litigation under Article 268-1 of the Constitution.
He also states that the basis of this notice related to writing a letter to the Swiss authorities in money laundering cases against President Asif Ali Zardari but such an exercise was not the responsibility of the PM.
He states that the court should have summoned the law secretary and law minister before calling the PM before it on January 19. He requested the court to withdraw the said show-cause notice as the prime minister enjoys constitutional immunity.
