The Supreme Court has formed a larger bench to hear petitions regarding the Panama Leaks case.

The hearing will take place on November 1, a day before the expected Islamabad lockdown.

Chief Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali will chair the meeting. Meanwhile, Justice Asif Khosa, Justice Azmat Saeed, Justice Ameer Hani Muslim and Justice Aijaz ul Hasan will be part of the bench.

The Supreme Court issued notices to all parties including the prime minister on October 20 as it began hearing five petitions regarding the Panama Papers which have overshadowed political landscape of the country for the last several months.

A three-member bench presided by the Chief Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali heard the petitions including two petitions filed by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf calling for the disqualification of the prime minister.

The SC sent notices to all parties including the Prime Minister on the request of JI and PTI. The session was adjourned for two weeks.

  1. The PM has inflicted this punishment on his country. If his hands are clean why does he not come clean. There would have been no need for this circus in the country or in the courts. If my memory serves me right were not this PM supporters who raided the Courts many years ago and a judge had to run for his life to a military cantonement for protection. Will the modern day "guloos" act the same way.
