No confrontation between judiciary and government: Justice Javed

Senior Supreme Court Judge, Justice Javed Iqbal says there is no confrontation between the government and judiciary, Geo News reported.

The government has not disobeyed any orders of the Supreme Court however there has been a delay in their implementation. Justice Javed said the Supreme Court and Army were not playing any combined role.

Justice Javed Iqbal was being honoured by the Punjab Bar Council and said media hype was behind the creation of a possible confrontation between the judiciary and government and it was wrong to say that the government did not obey Supreme Court orders.

The main priorities of the Supreme Court are to uphold the constitution, rule of law and eliminate corruption. He added that this was also the attention of the government.

Speaking on relations with the army, Justice Iqbal said that the Supreme Court was proud of the armed forces.
