ISLAMABAD: A three-member bench of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, led by Chief Justice Saqib Nasir, is set to hear the disqualification case against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan and PTI Secretary-General Jehangir Tareen today on Wednesday.
The petition filed which was filed by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Hanif Abbasi seeks disqualification of the two PTI leaders for not disclosing their assets and highlighting the ownership of offshore companies.
CJP Saqib Nasir in Tuesday’s hearing stated that some details given in the paperwork provided by Tareen’s counsel contradict each other and some of the documents seem fake.
Naeem Bukhari, counsel for Imran Khan, submitted two miscellaneous applications to prove the money trail of 0.1 million pounds.
The chief justice observed that since the authenticity of the documents submitted by Imran Khan was questioned by the petitioner, thus it was necessary to issue him notices, adding that the documents should have been furnished earlier.
The court then issued notices to Hanif Abbasi on the fresh applications, coupled with new documents submitted by Imran Khan on Monday, giving new details of 0.1 million pounds.
The chief justice observed that the money trail still carried ambiguities and discrepancies, adding that there was dissimilarity in the signatures of Imran Khan on some documents as well.
He said the record of 0.1 million pounds was being submitted in parts and that too having dissimilarities. He said any record of the sum which can determine whether it was spent on legal fees or otherwise could not be produced as yet.
