ISLAMABAD: PM Nawaz Sharif family lawyer Salman Akram Raja had made an important question to the Supreme Court 3 member bench hearing the Panama JIT report.
Salman Akram Raja said that the three member bench currently hearing the case is a different bench than the one which announced the verdict to form a JIT on April 20.
The issue of the 3 member bench or the 5 member bench has been raised by the PTI also. Yet the final decision rests with the Supreme Court of the Pakistan.
Salman Akram Raja has said the "The April 20 verdict was the final decision on the first phase of the Panamagate verdict and all the five judges signed the order of the court for the implementation.
That five member bench was dissolved,” said the lawyer.
He added that the current bench is not the continuation of the first bench and is also not a sub-bench.
The orders of those bench and this bench cannot be mixed, this bench will issue the final verdict either with 2-1 or 3-0 majority.
