PM asked new queries in Panama Case

ISLAMABAD: A new Supreme Court (SC) larger bench led by Justice Asif Saeed Khosa resumed the hearing of ‘Panama Papers Leaks’ case on Wednesday from where it was left last year by a previous bench.

On the very first day of the hearing, a five-member SC bench announced to hear the high-profile case on a daily basis, claiming it would try to give a decision on the case at the earliest without any delay.

The court later, adjourning the case until tomorrow (Thursday), sought details of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s official positions he held during different tenures.

“Whenever the premier held an official designation, his business matters went ahead,” remarked Justice Khosa and added, “The court will have to evaluate if there was a misuse of official position.”
