ISLAMABAD:
Report has surfaced which hint that Sharif family is mulling the option of approaching the court for the review of the Panama Papers case decision.
Legal minds of the Sharif family have expressed fears that strong observations made by the five-member Supreme Court in the Panamagate verdict against members of the ruling family might create prejudice in the investigation of the Joint Investigation Team (JIT).Legal minds of the ruling party and the Sharif family’s legal team have started deliberations over whether to file a review petition or not against the April 20 judgment.
Legal team had strong reservations over the observations made by every member of the larger bench against members of the ruling family, particularly Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
“We fail to understand why the SC judges have given observations before the outcome of the JIT’s investigation.”
Likewise, the senior PML-N leader stated that when the SC judges were saying that they could not examine evidence at this stage, then why they had considered and given observations on it, believing that the judgment should not be delivered on personal likes and dislikes.
