The Lahore High Court (LHC) recently handed down a significant penalty to a woman who filed an unnecessary contempt petition against Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz. Chief Justice Aalia Neelum imposed a fine of Rs. 100,000 on the petitioner, Ashba Kamran, after she was unable to provide the correct petition number during a hearing.
The LHC's order came during the court's consideration of a petition filed by Kamran, which questioned the binding nature of certain Supreme Court orders and the implementation of paragraphs nine to 11 of a previous Supreme Court directive. Kamran's arguments also included allegations that the court's directions were being ignored, drawing parallels to the removal of former Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani for disobeying a court order.
Chief Justice Neelum reminded Kamran of her own previous contempt case at the LHC and questioned the accuracy of the petition number in her application. The court expressed dissatisfaction with Kamran's failure to address the error in the petition number, leading to the imposition of the Rs. 100,000 fine. The case will be revisited once the petitioner fulfills the monetary requirement.
