Staff Report
ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) has convicted the Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani of contempt of court for not implementing the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) case for over two years, SAMAA reports Thursday.

Reading out the verdict against the PM Gilani, Justice Nasirul Mulk said the court was willfully ridiculed and its orders were flouted.

The court punished him with confinement over the contempt charge till the rising of the court.

It should be mentioned here that it was the first time in the history of Pakistan that a Prime Minister appeared before the court and was convicted of contempt of court.

Also, it is unique and the first time in the history that a punishment of shortest length was delivered as his punishment is now over with the rising of the court.

The court took five minutes to deliver the verdict and hence, the PM Gilani's punishment of confinement lasted for only 30 seconds. SAMAA
