ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Saqib Nisar remarked on Monday that when the Supreme Court remarks on something, it is said that 'our work is being interfered with'. 

The chief justice made the comment while hearing a suo motu case on the deforestation in Margalla Hills. 

"Those who are responsible to do it fail to do the required work. If you are here to serve the public then do it. But it is said that the judiciary is interfering in the executive?s domain," the chief justice remarked.

"If we don?t even give directions then what will we leave behind for our children," Chief Justice Nisar observed.
