ISLAMABAD: A new Supreme Court (SC) larger bench led by Justice Asif Saeed Khosa is set to resume the hearing of ‘Panama Papers Leaks’ case on Wednesday.

Chief Justice Pakistan (CJP) Justice Saqib Nisar formed a five-member larger SC bench last year comprising Supreme Court judges – Justice Azmat Saeed, Justice Ijaz Afzal, Justice Gulzar Ahmed and Justice Ijaz-ul-Hasan – to hear the high-profile case.

A day ahead of the ‘Panama Papers Leaks’ case hearing on Tuesday, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, his children and son-in-law changed their lawyers, while the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) submitted a set of additional documents to the court.
