The Peshawar High Court (PHC) sentenced lawyer Asadullah Advocate to six months in prison and imposed a Rs100,000 fine for making inappropriate and derogatory remarks against a female judge on social media.
The court ruled that his conduct amounted to contempt of court under Section 3 of the Contempt of Court Ordinance, 2004. The case arose after offensive language targeting a female civil judge in Swat was circulated online.
The PHC emphasized that such behavior undermines the judiciary, and a detailed judgment is expected to follow.
