The Lahore High Court (LHC) decided on Wednesday to form a larger bench to probe a foreign assets case against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
After 26 years, Lahore High Court Chief Justice Manzoor Ahmed Malik formed a five-member larger bench to investigate money laundering allegations against the premier.
The bench will be headed by Justice Farrukh Irfan Khan and will include Justice Muhammad Qasim, Justice Ayesha A Malik, Justice Faisal Zaman and Justice Mirza Waqas Raoof.
Barrister Javed Iqbal Jafri had originally filed the petition against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in 1991. He alleged in an FIR that PM Nawaz is involved in laundering money out of Pakistan after plundering the national exchequer.
Pleading the court to open an investigation against him, Barrister Jafri asked the court to bring back the money plundered by PM Nawaz and take action against him.
On the last day of the hearing, Justice Farrukh had forwarded the petition to the chief justice to form a larger bench to probe the matter.
The bench would hold proceedings starting from May 8 (Friday).
After a period of 26 years, the case opened ? what was this case doing all this years ? hibernating perhaps. Nothing will come out of this case too, except waste of tax payers money.
What a mockery. It is apparent that these judges have no other cases. Common man waits for life to be heard by these judges.
