He said that the petitioner sat in his drawing room for an hour. The counsel for Kamran apologised for the inconvenience.
Justice Mazhar asked how could a petitioner dare to meet a judge. He asked how did he come up with the idea of meeting the judge? “If an engineering graduate went to jail, he would know the cost to meet the judge,” he said.
