The Supreme Court on Tuesday adjourned hearing into Panama leaks scandal involving Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his family members after claiming that investigating corruption is not its job.
The hearing was resumed by a five-member larger bench headed by Pakistan Chief Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali. Other bench members are Justice Asif Saeed Khose, Justice Amir Hani Muslim, Justice Shaikh Azmat Saeed and Justice Ijaz Ul Hassan.
The bench observed that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan’s petition has been admitted for hearing as a test case.
The CJP observed that it’s not Supreme Court’s job to investigate corruption.
“If we started accountability since 1945, this matter can never be resolved,” a judge said in his remarks.
The court examined all responses filed by the parties and later adjourned the case till Thursday (Nov 17).
