ISLAMABAD - Chief Justice Saqib Nisar has issued a final warning to media houses till December 15 over non payment of salaries to workers.
CJP on Friday warned that the apex court will take action against the media houses that have still not paid salaries to their employees, if they did not clear all dues soon.
While hearing a request filed by Tayyab Baloch, the president of Press Association of Supreme Court, Justice Nisar said the court will take action against media houses — that have not paid their employees — under the Revenue Recovery Act and suggested the companies' lawyers to read it.
Pervez Shaukat, who was representing media employees along with Baloch, told the court that the media workers did not have money to pay their children's school fee because they had not received their salaries. He claimed that the media houses had received billions to speak against the judiciary.
