ISLAMABAD: A three-member bench of the Supreme Court headed by Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed will resume hearing the contempt case against Federal Privatisation Minister Daniyal Aziz.

On Monday, Aziz submitted his reply in the court, saying that being a parliamentarian he cannot even think of disrespecting state institutions.

Aziz in his reply stated that he believes in the supremacy of the Constitution and respects state institutions, including the judiciary.
