The apex court after a gap of almost four years will hear a matter related to suspension of practicing licence of former Attorney General for Pakistan Irfan Qadir. The Supreme Court in March 2015 had suspended the practicing licence of Irfan Qadir and issued him a show cause notice to explain why his licence should not be revoked. The case is fixed for February 6, 2019, which will be taken up by a three-member bench headed by Chief Justice Asif Saeed Khan Khosa.
The show cause notice was issued in case of purchase of armed personnel carriers by the Sindh government wherein Irfan Qadir was representing the Sindh provincial government. The notice was issued pertaining to payment of fee to senior counsel. The contempt of court notice was issued to Irfan Qadir in the Arsalan Iftikhar vs Malik Riaz case for "concealing" the fact that he had represented Malik Riaz as his counsel in the high courts.
