Report was leaked and now the media is carrying out a trial based on the leaked documents, saysJahangir.

ISLAMABAD: Former president of the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) and rights activists Asma Jahangir on Friday said the report by the Panama Joint Investigation Team (JIT) should be left to the Supreme Court to decide upon as it contains very sensitive legal issues.

"The JIT report is an investigation and investigations are challenged in courts and the JIT is not the same as the Supreme Court," said Jahangir.

She further said the report was leaked and now the media is carrying out a trial based on the leaked documents.

“If the media wants to conduct a trial than the courts should be added,” Jahangir added.

The JIT submitted its final report to the apex court on July 10. It formed on May 5 in light of the Supreme Court’s April 20 judgment and was tasked to ascertain the money trail of the Sharif family.
