The premier's comments came during a meeting with the PTI-led government's coalition partners, where the matter came under discussion, sources told GNN.
The allied parties opined that PML-N could be served with a contempt of court notice for its statements over the matter.
At this, the prime minister said the matter is in the court and they will do what they seem fit, sources added.
