Summary The consultation process has been halted.
KARACHI (Dunya News) - Supreme Court (SC) is unlikely to announce verdict in Panamagate in ongoing week, predicted senior anchorperson and analyst Kamran Khan.
Justice Asif Saeed Khosa and Justice Azmat Sheikh, are hearing petitions in Lahore Registry Branch of SC while Justice Gulzar is hearing cases in Karachi Registry Branch of SC. These three judges will remain busy till 24 March. Thus, process of consultation pertaining to verdict in country’s most anticipated case has been halted. It may be recalled that a five-member bench heard the case against Sharif family.
On Friday, new duty roster would be crafted which would show whether respected judges are available or not on principal seat in next week.
Khan said Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) ex-federal minister Hamid Kazmi has been acquitted by Islamabad High Court (IHC) in Hajj embezzlement case whereas another leader, Sharjeel Memon, has been awarded protective bail in Rs5 billion corruption case. Similarly, Sindh High Court (SHC) has reserved judgement on Dr. Asim’s bail plea.
Summing up the whole political scenario, Khan said it seems corruption allegations are being puree from PPP through legal sieve.
Opposition leader Khurshid Shah, while presenting PPP’s stance in program, said it would be better to say that law is working accordingly while PPP’s Aitzaz Ahsan dismissed rumors of any deal with ruling party.
Siblings of martyrs have asserted immense pressure on PPP on matter of military courts’ revival, revealed Aitzaz.
