A contempt of court case was heard in the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Supreme Court, where the AJK Apex Court ordered the arrest of Sessions Judge Raja Imtiaz in the courtroom.
Sessions Judge Raja Imtiaz is a former special judge of the Anti-Narcotics Court Haveli, against whom contempt of court proceedings were underway for granting bail to an accused contrary to the orders of the High Court and the Supreme Court.
