Not obligatory to accept JIT findings, says Justice Ijaz

[Rafa]

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - During the hearing over Panama Joint Investigation Team (JIT) report in Supreme Court (SC), Justice Ijaz-ul-Hassan remarked that we are not bound to accept JIT findings.

A three-member SC bench comprising Justice Ejaz Afzal, Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed and Justice Ijazul Hassan resumed hearing of the final phase of Panamagate case during which an argument over Qatari prince’s letter was taken place between SC judges and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawyer Naeem Bokhari.

Justice Ejaz asked the PTI lawyer whether the Qatari story narrated by Sharif family is self-made or its prince’s letter is bogus or not over which Bokhari said both are false.

The JIT had concluded in its report that “after having investigated the case [of letters] in detail, examination of witnesses [Sharif family members] and receipt of irrefutable evidence from foreign jurisdiction, recording of the statement of Hamad alThani has become inconsequential.”

“On the strength of the overwhelming documentary evidence it is concluded that the appearance of letters of Qatari prince are totally a myth.”

Presenting his stance during the hearing, Naeem Bokhari said the team had found contradiction in the statements of Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif’s son Hussain Nawaz and his cousin Tariq Shafi regarding Gulf Steel Mills issue. The investigation committee had termed Tariq Shafi’s statement as fake, he continued.

What does he really mean by this?

What it exactly says, which everyone knows. It was a normal point and everywhere is getting hyped over it. They said Qatari letters are bogus, which we know from JIT, and which means they will base their decision on JIT.

As I said in the other thread, the judges were not going to sit and nod to everything the PTI lawyers said. Watch them grill PMLN tomorrow.

He means that he has received the agreed amount of money and now Nawaz Sharif is clean as a whistle. These judges are sold to the highest bidders that has always been the case.

Calm down and hold your horses for next few hearings bro

 

[Bewal Express]

I think they mean that JIT is a sort of recommendation and they are not bound by it. In legal terms it makes sense but if the Sharifs are let off from this position the SC will lose all credibility.

This is like deja vu from the previous hearing. Judges grill PTI lawyers a little and everyone starts claiming that there is a muk mukka.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

He means that..... the bidding process is now open.

Expect NS to get a let off.

NS will surely survive through this period if the attitude of judges is taken into consideration.
