ISLAMABAD: Supreme Court of Pakistan resumed the Panama Papers case hearing on Thursday.
The counsel argued that the apex court cannot give a direct verdict against the ruling family until due process is followed at the relevant forum.
“The SC is not the proper forum to give a declaration against [them],” Raja said.
After Raja concluded his arguments, the top court later summoned the NAB and FBR chairmen to appear in person at the next hearing, which is scheduled for February 21.
The bench also directed the NAB prosecutor general to submit the complete record of the 17-year-old Hudaibiya Paper Mills investigation into the Sharifs during the next hearing.
