Supreme Court on Thursday (Today) told Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) that “If you start hanging people on the basis of news clippings then your client will not survive either.”
A five-member bench of the court conducted a fresh hearing over petitions seeking Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif‘s disqualification after Panama leaks.
During the legal proceeding, the court advised PTI to submit documents or link connection with the case instead of talking about news clippings.
Case cannot be solved by itself, judge added.
Justice Khosa pointed out that PM never stated that London flats are owned by his sons.
PTI’s lawyer Naeem Bokhari asked the court to omit Qatari prince’s letter on which Justice Azmat Saeed said that Sharif family’s case is dependable over this letter.
If the court skips Qatari letter from hearing, it will be of no use for you as well, he added.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif’s legal team has submitted written reply to court’s questions that were asked in Wednesday’s hearing.
The information about Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif’s public offices and businesses has also been submitted in the court.
The reply states that the prime minister was provincial finance minister from 1981 to 1985, after which he occupied the office of chief minister Punjab till 1988.
