Summary The hearing has been resumed by a three-member bench of SC.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif’s children Hussain and Hassan Nawaz counsel Salman Akram Raja on Thursday is presenting his arguments in Supreme Court (SC) over Panamagate implementation case.
A three-member SC bench comprising Justice Ejaz Afzal, Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed and Justice Ijazul Ahsan resumed the hearing of Panamagate.
Earlier, Tariq Hassan declared JIT report as media friendly. Justice Ijaz told the lawyer that SC is not an appropriate platform to clear your stance.
Have told several times that we are not bound to act on JIT report, said Justice Azmat.
Justice Ijaz clearly said that Ishaq Dar cannot get relief here by adopting shortcut.
Justice Ejaz said that if you want to raise objection over JIT report, then you should bring relevant documents. We have not gone through the evidence you are talking about, he continued.
If you have anything new to say then go ahead. We have not dismissed or announced verdict on your request, said Justice Azmat.
Justice Ijaz alleged Dar of not providing complete details to JIT as he refused to give information about his foreign earning and demanded privilege from JIT. He said the minister has to submit real data in the case.
Tariq Hassan further told the court that he challenges Dar’s statement before JIT over which Justice Ijaz asked do you mean that JIT didn’t record your client’s stance correctly. Justice Ejaz said that this matter can be resolved by analyzing video recording of Ishaq Dar’s appearance.
Justice Ejaz and Justice Azmat abruptly said that the finance minister refused to show his assets.
Ishaq Dar counsel said that JIT declared my client as accused which is not appreciated. He said we are not raising doubts on SC but this case is again heading towards trial which can’t be happened now. Justice Ejaz remarked that Dar should not get worried if he has not committed any crime.
