ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Wednesday observed that it had no intention to call upon Punjab Chief Minister Sheh
baz Sharif in the Pana
ma Papers case.
The five-member larger bench of the apex court headed by Justice Asif Saeed Khosa delivered these comments during the hearing of the case filed
by Pakistan Tehreeke-Insaf (PTI) and others seeking investigation in relation to the Pana
ma Papers.
During the course of proceedings, PTI’s counsel Naeem Bukhari pleaded to the court to call the Punjab CM. The PM’s advocate Makhdoom Ali Kh
an, however, opposed the action saying there was no need to summon the chief minister as he had nothing to do with the Pana
ma Papers.
He said that the names of both Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif and Sheh
baz Sharif were not mentioned in the Pana
ma Papers.
