Justice Ijazul Ahsan to oversee implementation of Panama case judgment

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court appointed on Wednesday Justice Ijazul Ahsan as the monitoring judge for overseeing the implementation of the apex court's July 28 judgment in the Panama Papers case.

Justice Ahsan was part of the five-member bench that delivered the 5-0 verdict against the Sharif family, as well as the three-member special implementation bench which oversaw work of the Joint Investigation Team.

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Monday decided to file four references against Nawaz, his three children Maryam, Hussain and Hasan, son-in-law MNA Capt (retd) Safdar and former finance minister Ishaq Dar.

In its judgment, the court had given the NAB six weeks to file the references in an accountability court in 'Islamabad/Rawalpindi'. The judgment also directs the relevant court to wrap up the case in six months.
