He said that he even cannot think about the contempt of court but reading of couplet act was presented in different way.

He appealed to the court for acceptance of apology latter and cancels the order of suspension of his licence. Awan had uttered derogatory remarks against judges after the SC ordered for an investigation by Tariq Khosa into the memo scandal.On April 10, Awan had tendered an apology to the court, especially to Justice Asif Saeed Khosa against whom he had launched a tirade by openly attacking him for being brother of Tariq Saeed Khosa. However, the SC bench has yet to decide if it is admitting Awan’s plea for apology.
