Pakistan's Supreme Court is to charge Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani with contempt, for failing to reopen corruption cases against the president.
Gilani is scheduled to appear before the court on February 13.
If convicted, he faces jail and being barred from office.
The prime minister has refused to ask Swiss officials to reopen a corruption case against President Zardari, saying he has immunity as head of state.
The president rejects the corruption charges as politically motivated.
