ISLAMABAD: The Panama Leaks case hearing resumed in the Supreme Court on Thursday under a five-member bench headed by Justice Asif Saeed Khosa.
According to sources privy to the development, the government submitted its replies in response to the questions put forth by the bench in the last hearing. The government’s responses included details of the prime minister’s public office tenure. Moreover, copies of these replies were also submitted to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf which has been at the forefront of the assault on the ruling party in the Panama Leaks case.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Supreme Court had put forth questions regarding how monetary investments were made into the businesses of children of Nawaz Sharif. The court also posed the question whether Nawaz had misused his position to enhance and facilitate his business interests while in power.
The SC asked the prime minister’s legal team, “Where were 12 million Dirham kept for two decades? From 1980 to 1997 what did Nawaz Sharif do? What is law for money transfer in Dubai and Qatar? How was money invested in the Sharif children’s businesses?”
Furthermore, the bench has also come to the decision that the hearing of the Panama Leaks case would be held on a daily basis.
