Nawaz tried to fool people in and outside of parliament: SC detailed judgement

ISLAMABAD (INP): Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif tried to fool masses in and outside of parliament, said the top court in its detailed verdict in the Panama Papers case on Tuesday.

“He (Nawaz) even tried to fool the court without realising that you can fool all the people for some of the time, some of the people all the time but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time,” said the 23-page verdict of the Supreme Court on the review petition filed earlier by the deposed premier.

The judges dismissed the notion that there wasn’t any link between the respondent No. 10 captain (Retd) Safdar and Avenfield apartments, saying that respondent No. 6 Marium Safdar prima facie happens to be the beneficial owner of the property.

The court ruled that the evidence relating to Sharif’s disqualification was undisputed. Further, the verdict does not point to any legal loophole. The accountability court, it continued, can scrutinise the available evidence in the case at length.

On September 15, the apex court had issued a short-order rejecting the review petitions of the Sharif family and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar against the July 28 judgement in the Panama Papers case.
