Panama Leaks case hearing postpone till tomorrow
ISLAMABAD, JAN 09, (DNA) – A larger bench led by Justice Asif Saeed Khosa resumed hearing of the Panama Leaks case on Monday after a two-day break.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s lawyer Naeem Bukhari presented evidence over beneficial ownership of the London Flats.
Bukhari said that Hussain Nawaz had gifted Rs810 million to Nawaz Sharif. He added that when Hussain Nawaz moved abroad his NTN became dysfunctional.
Justice Azmat Saeed remarked that one needs an NTN to exchange gifts. The court added that proof for exchange of gifts may be demanded.
Justice Asif Saeed Khosa remarked that if the property belonged to Qatar then there was no question of money transfer.
Justice Azmat Saeed said that the Sharifs had declared offshore companies in 2006.
Bukhari argued that Federal Bureau of Revenue (FBR) should have asked Nawaz Sharif what business his son did.
Justice Gulzar said that if transactions are done through the bank then there is no objection.
Justice Azmat Saeed told Bukhari,”We had asked you 16 questions. You have not answered even one?”
Speaking to journalists outside the Supreme Court, prior to the hearing, Awami Muslim League Chief Sheikh Rasheed said, “I have faith in Allah. I hope justice is served. The corrupt should be punished, otherwise there will be bloodshed and civil war.”
During the last hearing, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s daughter Maryam Nawaz submitted her reply in the Supreme Court which included five-year details of her income. In the reply, she said that signatures on documents related to Nescol company are fake. These documents are not linked to the Panama Leaks.
