Islamabad,
\nOusted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s children and his son-in-law on Friday filed review petitions challenging the Supreme Court’s July 28 verdict in the Panama Papers case.<\/p>\n
The court was urged on Friday to set aside its directive to the anti-corruption body to file corruption references against Hussain, Hassan and Maryam Nawaz and Sharif’s son-in-law Captain Mohammad Safdar (retd) relating to the Avenfield properties in London and 16 offshore companies, Dawn newspaper reported.<\/p>\n
In July, a five-member bench of the Supreme Court disqualified Sharif from office following a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) probe that exposed illegal family wealth stashed abroad.<\/p>\n
Sharif’s children and son-in-law have each filed two petitions — one challenging the judgement of the five-member SC bench and the other against the verdict reserved by the three-member Panama Papers implementation bench.<\/p>\n
The pleas stated that the Supreme Court “should stay the filing of the reference against the applicants until the review petitions were heard and decided”.<\/p>\n
The petitions also questioned the probe carried out by the six-member Joint Investigation Team (JIT) on court orders, saying it was “incomplete” and contrary to the requisites of justice.<\/p>\n
This is the third batch of petitions seeking a review of the verdict in the Panama Papers case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
