Islamabad: The government has decided to abolish the contempt of court ordinance and replace it with new legislation. Geo News has received a copy of the new contempt of court draft bill.
Under the new draft bill, the President, Prime Minister, Ministers and Chief Ministers will be immune from contempt of court proceedings under article 284-1 of the constitution.
The draft bill also states that criticism of court orders if made in the appropriate language would not be contempt of court.
