Summary Analysts believe that tomorrow's decision will not be final and PM Nawaz will have right to appeal
(Web Desk) - With the most-anticipated Panama case verdict from Supreme Court on July 28, various politicians and journalists have made their points whether the premier would be disqualified or not. Dunya News asked several experts that what will be the consequences of Panama decision, here are their answers:
Kamran Khan highlighted there is a possibility that Nawaz Sharif will get a chance to make Supreme Court reconsider the case.
Former Supreme Court judge Nasir Aslam Zahid said the ruling party Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) should at least get one chance of appeal. He strongly opposed the notion of a full and final decision. He said this is the very reason the top court doesn’t rule final verdict as it eliminates the possibility of an appeal.

Former Law Minister Iftikhar Gillani said a proper trial is required to decide whether a politician is honest or not where he will get a proper chance.
Legal expert Abid Hussain Manto asked where the accused will appeal if the top court rules against him, highlighting the need to determine the consequences of the verdict.
Asma Jahangir stressed that these are political decisions which should be dealt this way. “You will have to apply the verdict on everyone else as well, no one considers the disqualification of former PM Yousaf Gilani as appropriate now,” she added. Jahangir fears that institutions will be destroyed and lack trust if PM Nawaz is disqualified. She said, “Such decisions should always be reviewed.”

Moeed Pirzada said PM Nawaz had important meeting in the Maldives and he has returned with a decisive mindset. PM has realised that the the matter cannot be settled and he will initiate a crisis to politically capitalize the verdict, Pirzada believes.
