Islamabad, Sept 15 : The Supreme Court of Pakistan today dismissed the review petition filed by the deposed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif against the Panama Papers judgement of July 28.
The apex court also dismissed the review petitions of former Prime Minister’s children and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar against the Panama Papers judgement, a report in the Dawn said.
The court had reserved its verdict on the review petitions after the lawyers for all petitioners completed their arguments earlier in the day, according to the reports here.
A five-judge SC bench headed by Justice Asif Saeed Khosa had taken up the petitions seeking review of the court’s July 28 judgement which disqualified Nawaz Sharif and ordered the filing of corruption references against Sharif, his children — Hussain, Hassan and Maryam Nawaz, son-in-law retired Captain Mohammad Safdar and Ishaq Dar.
“For reasons to be recorded later, all these review petitions are dismissed,” Justice Khosa announced. (UNI)
