Sharif family’s evidence holds no legal value: Fawad Chaudhry
July 20, 2017
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Spokesperson Fawad Chaudhry remarked that the documents submitted as evidence by the government in the Panama case hold no legal value.
“The documents should be used to make toys for children,” he said while speaking to the media outside the Supreme Court before the Panama case hearing on Thursday.
The government is trying its best to hide the crimes of Nawaz Sharif, he claimed, adding “the court will punish the criminal for sure.”
We are waiting for the verdict just like others, he added.
After Thursday's hearing concluded, Chaudhry remarked that the case is going to reach its logical conclusion.
Tomorrow, our judges will meet for 15 minutes each after which the final decision will be made, he said, adding “the prime minister will go home and his children will be imprisoned.”
"The father [Nawaz] will be disqualified for 10 years, while his children will be sentenced to jail for 14 years. The inquiry and investigation of the case has been completed, just the verdict remains," he added.
Moreover, Chaudhry said if the case is sent to the accountability court then there will be only two options: arrest of the prime minister and his family or them seeking bail.
“Do you expect the sitting premier to go to courts daily to secure bail for himself?” he remarked.
He further said that the Supreme Court also hinted towards the fake documents submitted by Maryam and Hussain Nawaz. It is possible that they can be jailed for seven years over this, he claimd.
Chaudhry also claimed that the prime minister's son-in-law has no legal counsel. It was asked in the court who is representing Capt (retd) Safdar, to which the response came that he has no legal representation, recalled the PTI leader.
On Thursday, the fourth consecutive hearing of the SC bench, following the submission of the Joint Investigation Team’s (JIT) final probe report into the Sharif family’s businesses, was held.
The three-member bench, headed by Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan and comprising Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed and Justice Ijazul Ahsan has heard the arguments of the petitioners over the JIT report and is now hearing replies of the respondents.
