Court’s Remarks and Lawyer’s Assurance
Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb noted having seen inappropriate language used by Sanam Javed online and queried her lawyer if he could ensure she would refrain from such behavior in the future. Barrister Mian Ali Ashfaq affirmed that Javed would avoid using inappropriate language going forward.
