A three-member special bench of Pakistan’s Supreme Court, formed to monitor Joint Investigation Team’s proceeding over the Panama leaks, on Monday adjourned the hearing of the case till June 7.
The hearing of the case was conducted by a three-member bench headed by Justice Ejaz Afzal on Monday. JIT head Wajid Zia submitted the interim report pertaining to Panama case probe in Supreme Court.
After the bench reviewed the report, Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed said the court has full confidence in the team and its work. He asked the JIT to inform the court if any hurdles are created by an institution or if any department refuses to cooperate. Justice Ejaz Afzal directed the head of JIT Wajid Zia to complete the investigation in 60 days. He asserted that the probe period will not be extended under any circumstance. “The court will neither defy law nor it will sell it for fame,” he added. The bench also rejected PTI’s plea to conduct hearing of the court in open court and share the report.
