The remark came during the hearing of National Assembly proceedings case, as the apex court as resumed deliberation over the case for the fifth consecutive day today. The apex court may rule on the "unconstitutional" act by National Assembly Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri to block the vote of no-confidence against Prime Minister Imran Khan.
The apex court's five-member larger bench — headed by Justice Bandial and comprising Justice Muneeb Akhtar, Justice Aijazul Ahsan, Justice Mazhar Alam, and Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhel — is hearing the case.
At the outset of the hearing, Barrister Ali Zafar, representing President Arif Alvi, came to the rostrum and assured the court of completing his arguments within 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, Punjab Advocate General Azam Nazeer Tarar resumed his arguments saying: "A dictator once said that the Constitution is a book of 10-12 pages, I can tear it at any time."
"A very alarming situation took place in Punjab last night as PML-N leader Hamza Shahbaz was made Chief Minister at Kunji Hotel," Tarar said.
Tarar informed the court that Hamza, who is the former Punjab governor, will take oath as the chief minister at Bagh-e-Jinnah, Lahore today.
"Don't make speeches, we do not want to get into Punjab's affairs," CJP Bandial rebuked Tarar.
The judge said that the Lahore High Court would look into this provincial affair.
