Sajjad urged the bench to dismiss a contempt of court

notice as Zardari was not holding any political office. A K Dogar, the counsel for the petitioner, said Zardari had headed a political party in the past. He argued Zardari also held meetings of Pakistan Peoples Party-Parliamentarians leaders at the presidency and other places and he was supporting the "agenda of the PPPP", which is a political party. Dogar, who is also the counsel of Jamaat-ud-Dawah chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, sought contempt proceedings against Zardari for not quitting his political office. The petitioner had sought contempt proceedings after the Lahore High Court, in an order issued in May 2011, had suggested that Zardari should give up any political office held by him. The bench subsequently adjourned the matter till February 15.
