Justice Asif Khosa requested the Chief Justice (CJ) of Pakistan to constitute another bench for hearing the instant matter. Last week on Friday, the office of the Supreme Court, while issuing cause list of cases for the week commencing from Monday (Nov 13), had constituted a three-member bench, headed by Justice Asif Saeed Khosa, for hearing the NAB appeal against the judgment of the Lahore High Court, delivered in 2014, quashing a reference against the Sharif family in the Hudaibiya Paper Mills case.
On Monday, however, when the three-member bench headed by Justice Asif Saeed Khan Khosa arrived in the courtroom, Justice Asif Khosa recused himself from the bench, saying that the registrar's office might have made a mistake while fixing the instant case before his roster.
