Panamagate Case: Supreme Court disqualifies Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in unanimous verdict

NA 120, which is Nawaz Sharif's constituency, is in a total state of disarray. Dilapidated roads, piles of garbage sitting on roadsides, overflowing gutters and stagnant water that lines almost every alleyway.

Good to know as now it would be a piece of cake for pti to win this seat and get public's stamp on SC's verdict.

No way "Nawaz Sharif unke dilon main he". After DQ his lovers will make sure to make it a cake walk for any PMLN candidate
 
Apparently, Nooras want half the election to be bio metric and the other half to be paper lol. Noony toons! Bio metric is also useless if voter lists are being altered. Regardless of all this, NA120 is a strong PMLN seat; I wonder why they are so afraid :s

If this is the case, they should they should also provide the results by parts, as winner is expected to win both parts, so that no one can complain.

I think only 30-35% of total voters actually vote, and margin was 50k in 2013 so after the DQ, pti has an easy case to bring 10% new voters (who are by definition not the lovers as they did not vote previously).

If pti win this seat, we will know that DQ impacted the pmln.
And if pmln win by big/huge margin, then we can guess that DQ has a positive effect on pmln at the booth.

Apart from one media outlet, they are generally pro-pti or anti-pmln, so we would also know if voters actually pay attention to these anchors or not.

NS is travelling through GT road and this belt is his main strength.

Interesting times ahead.

Regardless who wins, Pakistan as a democratic country should have a transparent voting system. Black Zero, I am sure you would agree with me on this. I'd India can adopt bio metric then Pakistan should too. And this rubbish about altering voter lists need to stop.

New and silent voters are PTI strength bu i don't thing they are going to appear in by elections so PTI and IK will have to work really hard to convince them because for voter it doesn't matter who wins this seat and remain MNA for next 9 months. Nawaz changed his GT road plan at least 3 times based on different advises and now he is back to going through GT road (SS and Ch Nisar were against this decision). According to report they will make sure all the serkari mulazims are there for grand welcome of mian sahab on GT road and MNA/MPAs are also assigned duties to arrange big numbers to show NS power around GT road.
 
Regardless who wins, Pakistan as a democratic country should have a transparent voting system. Black Zero, I am sure you would agree with me on this. I'd India can adopt bio metric then Pakistan should too. And this rubbish about altering voter lists need to stop.

I agree on principle as we cannot have democracy without free and transparent elections.

However, when big change is introduced, one of the following two approaches is adopted:

1-big bang (this is normally adopted when option #2 is not available as huge risks are associated with it)
2-phased (this apprpach provides the flexibility for various challenges. There will be big learning curve for ECP, PO and for voters. )

So, I would welcome this phased approach (I anticipate that there would be numerous issues/bugs even with this approach, but will give ecp the opportunity to learn from mistakes)

Btw, AAP party complained that voting machines were programmed to rig in Delhi.
And even trump complained about rigging through invalid voters in presidential elections.

So we also need a culture, where losers accept the defeat and respect the mandate of citizens.
 
This is hilarious :)))

Nawaz Sharif should have avoided involving his children or at least his daughter...But well their minds and hearts are also corrupt so they can't think beyond their personal gains.
 
rana javad has been shown hus place in MALIK,s show....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GtcDbRkbmo

Interestingly Malick after his return in private media channel so far is only inviting different anchors in his regular show not politicians.

Sharifs made him MD PTV and he was also working as Showbaz adviser but thn there were some differences between him and Sharifs so he ended up losing his PTV head job and is back to private channels.
 
Werent Pregnant women shot at Model Town?

Yes they were according to reports, it'll all come out in the case Insha'Allah.

Obviously you can't compare something like this to something as demonic as murdering defenceless people,But I don't think Hussain was involved in that was he? I just find it unbecoming to do it in front of a man's children, even though I do agree with the message

These same people walk around in Pakistan as if they are kings. They have huge protocols and all traffic signals are stopped to let their motorcade pass through.


While in UK these same people are treated as just another average middle-aged Joe, with a tubby figure and balding hairline.

They deserve all the humiliation in the world.

So now he thinks it was wrong?? AMAZING isn't it??

He was launching attacks everyday and Gilani's case was FAR FAR less damaging to Pakistan but he kept asking him to resign and celebrated the dismissal and now that he has been dismissed, he changes his opinion.

PMLN highjacked "lawyers'" movement and managed to restore the Iftikhar. (AAZ never wanted to restore even after army/long March pressure, but GillanI insisted upon, AAZ warned him).

NS forced Iftikhar (Iftikhar was a yes man of NS, later NS giving post to irsalan in Balochistan proved the connection.) to disqualify under contempt of court.

When he tried to punish musharraf, he was shown his real worth.

NS is a joke, and will always play dirty politics.

Nawaz Sharif files 3 review appeals against Panamagate verdict in SC

Ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday filed three separate appeals in the Supreme Court to review the Panamagate verdict that resulted in his disqualification.

The three review appeals, in reply to the petitions filed by Imran Khan, Sheikh Rashid and Sirjul Haq, were filed by Nawaz's lawyer Khawaja Harris. The five-member apex bench that took the unanimous July 28 decision last month will hear the review petition.

Harris has also submitted relevant documents concerning the iqama — a United Arab Emirates work visa — that led the judges to declare Nawaz "unfit to hold office".

Nawaz, through his appeal, has argued that the July 28 decision should have been given by a three-member bench since Justice Asif Saeed Khosa and Justice Gulzar Ahmed's jurisdiction had expired after their dissenting judgement on April 20.

"By signing the the final order of the court" on July 28, Justice Ahmed and Justice Khosa "have actually passed two judgments in the same case, which is unprecedented in judicial history," reads the appeal petition, a copy of which is available with Dawn.

Five more appeals are expected to be filed soon by Nawaz's sons — Hassan and Hussain Nawaz; his daughter Maryam Nawaz; Captain Safdar; and Ishaq Dar.

'Still my PM'

Earlier on Tuesday, National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq said that he still considers Nawaz Sharif his prime minister, and that the entire country was waiting to welcome the former premier.

"In my heart, he [Sharif] is still the prime minister," declared Sadiq while speaking to reporters after attending a meeting of top PML-N leadership in Raiwind.

The meeting, chaired by Sharif, was also attended by Hamza Shahbaz, Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif, Railways Minister Saad Rafique, and Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah, among others.

"Nawaz Sharif talked about his future strategy. He does not plan to create any friction between the institutions but he will fight for his right by taking his case to the public and protect the sanctity of their vote," the speaker told the reporters.

"The meeting also discussed ways to strengthen the Parliament and democracy; we talked about what legislation needs to be passed, by taking all political parties on board, in order to protect the sanctity of the votes cast by the public."

NAB summons ex-PM Nawaz Sharif, sons tomorrow

LAHORE: In what could set the tone for investigation into serious allegations against the Sharif family, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) summoned disqualified prime minister Nawaz Sharif and both his sons in the Al-Azizia Steel Mills case on Friday (tomorrow).

A NAB official confirmed to Dawn on Wednes*day Mr Sharif and his sons — Huss*ain and Hasan Nawaz — had been asked to appear before investigators in Lahore.

He said this would be the first of many cases that NAB was going to probe — an act which could have repercussions for the Sharifs’ politics as well as for the country’s political scene for long.

He said the case had been referred to the Rawalpindi NAB on Aug 11 and the decision to summon the Sharifs was taken by NAB chairman Qamar Zaman Chaudhry.

Independent commentators say the probe into large-scale corruption allegations against Mr Sharif and his family could set the standard for accountability in ******tan for all times to come.

Bureau’s team from Rawalpindi to quiz ousted premier in Lahore about Al-Azizia Steel Mills

The cases are an acid test for Mr Sharif who is fighting his case both in courts as well as before what he des*cribed as people’s jury. The top tier of the ruling ******tan Muslim League-N is these days huddled in Lah*ore and the summons by NAB will add yet another urgent topic to its list of concerns.

There are several cases involving investigation by NAB, including the affairs of many sugar mills.

On July 28, a five judge larger bench of the Supreme Court while disqualifying Mr Sharif under Article 62(1)( f) of the Constitution had asked NAB to file four references in the Rawalpindi accountability court within six weeks on the basis of the material collected and referred to by the Joint Investi*gation Team (JIT) as well as that already available with the Federal Investi*gation Agency and NAB.

According to the court order, NAB has to file a reference against Mr Sharif; his children Maryam Safdar, Hussain and Hassan Nawaz; and son-in-law retired Capt Muhammad Safdar relating to four upscale flats in London.

Another reference against Mr Sharif and his sons about Al-Azizia Steel Mills and Hill Metal Establishment and one regarding 16 other companies were also ordered. The companies are Flagship Investments, Hartstone Pro*perties, Que Holdings, Quint Eaton Place 2, Quint Saloane, Quaint, Flagship Securities, Quint Gloucester Place, Quint Paddington, Flagship Develop*ments, Alanna Ser*vices (BVI), Lankin SA (BVI), Chadron, Ansbacher, Coomber and Capital FZE (Dubai).

The fourth reference has to be filed against Finance Minister Ishaq Dar for possessing assets and funds beyond his known sources of income. The official told Dawn that NAB would take up the reference against Mr Dar on Aug 23.

However, Mr Sharif had filed a review petition before the Supreme Court against his disqualification and also moved a separate application with a request to suspend the final verdict in the Panama Papers case as long as the review petition is pending.

It said that the SC directions issued to NAB to take forward the JIT’s investigation, what evidence to look into, how many references to file before which accountability court, and monitoring and supervision of the investigation and trials by an SC judge was in violation of the principle of trichotomy and Articles 25 and 175 of the Constitution, as well as due process and the right to a fair trial, as mandated by Articles 4 and 10A.

Moreover, direction to the trial court to decide the references within six months is likely to prejudice Mr Sharif’s case before the accountability court, especially when the Constitution does not confer the Supreme Court any jurisdiction to sup*erintend and oversee the pro*ceedings of subordinate judiciary, the petition maintained.

Kalsoom Nawaz is destined to a loss.

Shehbaz Sharif has some big influence in Punjab and Lahore. With MNS disqualified and Maryam Nawaz under radar, it's blessing in disguise for Shehbaz Sharif (read Hamza). They will make sure that Kalsoom Nawaz isn't winning this election.

Expecting Dr Yasmin Rashid to win by less than 5000 margin.

MNS wants a confrontation but doesn't want to be the party initiating a direct confrontation. He has been waiting for an intervention from any third party. MNS has waited for far too long now. A suicidal mistake.

Now MNS is a history but he won't grasp the reality of it because, afterall, his history is still just 20 days old.

Within a month more, PMLn will start realising the fact that PMLn, Govt. and State can function without MNS even.

Unless, UNLESS he plays Ethnic card. Incompetent as he is, he will try it.
 
Kulsoom Nawaz is reported to have throat cancer. May Allah grant her good health. Obviously this will rule her out of the bye election which throws NS plans to get back into PM house into chaos.

That's really sad, hope she makes a full recovery.

But yea, from a political point of view, this will be chaos, surely Shahbaz is the only person who can step up, which Maryam Nawaz is not happy about, if rumours are anything to go by?
 
Sad to know about Kulsoom Nawaz (if true), most probably she will withdraw her papers as it will be extremely difficult to continue politics not only this election but she is likely candidate for short/long term PM as well and reports are that she wasn't well even before this news about cancer.
 
I hope Kulsoom Nawaz makes a speedy recovery, extremely saddened to hear the news. No matter what differences we might have politically, all of us are Pakistanis in the end.

We are fighters by trait and as a nation, things like cancer don't hold us down or dimish our spirit. Show em who's boss !!!!
 
Govt decides to amend article 62, 63
[MENTION=133397]WebGuru[/MENTION]

This will prove to be the final nail in their coffin... NS can say thanks to his political Godfather Zia for this beautiful article...
 
Apparently, the references are weak and key documents and details have been left out so as to provide relief to the clan.
 
ISLAMABAD: Supreme Court’s five-judge larger bench, headed by Justice Asif Saeed Khosa, has concluded the hearing on Sharif family review petitions against landmark July 28 verdict on Panamagate.

After concluding the hearing, Justice Khosa said that we will now deliberate over the matter and decide how to proceed and what to do, adding that the judges will reassemble at 11am.

Earlier, Salman Akram Raja, counsel for Nawaz Sharif’s children, adopted the arguments given by Nawaz’s attorney Khawaja Haris. The bench has assured him that the trial of the ruling family will not be prejudiced against them.
Panamagate: Refrain from criticising SC bench, Punjab CM urges PML-N leaders

Renowned lawyer Salman Akram Raja had filed the review petition on August 25 on behalf of Sharif’s daughter Maryam Nawaz, sons Hussain Nawaz and Hassan Nawaz and son-in-law Captain Safdar, as he requested the top court to suspend operation of its July 28 order.

Hearing a slew of petitions filed after the emergence of the Panama Papers, the top court’s five-judge bench disqualified Nawaz and directed the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to file references against the former PM and his children in an accountability court. The court had also ordered that one of the members of the bench oversee the proceedings.

According to the petitioners, the final order of the court is ‘coram non judice’ as the five-member bench did not have jurisdiction to oversee the proceedings in another court.

They claim that the court’s directions to NAB as to how to proceed with the probe, what evidence to collect, how many references to file and before which accountability court as well as its order to monitor the investigation and trial of the references is violative of the principle of trichotomy of powers.

The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed the review petitions filed by deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif, his children and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar against the apex court's Panama Papers judgement of July 28.

The court had reserved its verdict on the review petitions after the lawyers for the petitioners completed their arguments earlier in the day.

A five-judge SC bench, headed by Justice Asif Saeed Khosa, had taken up the petitions seeking review of the court’s July 28 judgement which disqualified Nawaz Sharif and ordered the filing of corruption references against Sharif, his children — Hussain, Hassan and Maryam Nawaz — son-in-law retired Captain Mohammad Safdar, and incumbent Finance Minister Ishaq Dar.

"For reasons to be recorded later, all these review petitions are dismissed," Justice Khosa announced.

With the rejection of the review petitions, Sharif's disqualification as a member of the parliament remains valid. The Sharif family and Dar will now face corruption references filed by the National Accountability Bureau(NAB) in the accountability court.

The apex court on Friday also disposed of an application filed by Awami Muslim League (AML) leader Sheikh Rashid against NAB, accusing the latter of failing to file an appeal regarding the Hudaibiya Paper Mills case in accordance with the SC verdict.

The court decided the application after NAB prosecutor general Waqas Qadeer Dar stated before the bench that the NAB chairman had approved and ordered the filing of an appeal in SC to challenge the 2014 decision of the Lahore High Court to close the Hudaibiya Paper Mills case.

"The learned prosecutor general [...] has undertaken that the requisite appeal shall be filed before this Court within the next seven days without fail," the court's short order said. The bench subsequently disposed of the application after Sheikh Rashid did not press it following the NAB prosecutor's assurance.

Talking to reporters outside the court, PML-N leader and Minister for Information Technology Anusha Rahman said the court's decision to dismiss the review petitions was a cause of "disappointment" for her party.

She said the court should have reconsidered its verdict to disqualify Sharif for not disclosing the salary he was entitled to receive from Capital FZE. She expressed the fear that Sharif family will not get a fair trial in accountability court if a SC monitoring judge oversees the trial proceedings.

Barrister Zafarullah Khan said his party "believe in the system and Constitution of Pakistan" and will therefore accept the verdict despite not agreeing with it.

Representing Sharif's children and son-in-law Captain Safdar, Advocate Salman Akram Raja earlier in the day argued against the SC judgement. He adopted the arguments given by Sharif's counsel, and presented some of his own.

He said the court had ordered the filing of a reference against Safdar in relation to the Avenfield properties in London, but his client had no connection with the flats and "neither [had] such link emerged from the JIT [Joint Investigation Team] report".

Raja said Safdar had signed the trust deed executed between Maryam and Hussain Nawaz regarding the properties as a witness only.

At this, Justice Khosa observed that the JIT report had stated Maryam to be the beneficial owner of the two offshore companies which owned the London flats.

Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan said the British Virgin Islands authorities had deemed Maryam to be the owner of the said offshore companies and therefore it is incorrect to say that Safdar, Maryam's husband, has nothing to do with the flats.

The lawyer argued that his client's fundamental rights will be violated due to the filing of the references. But Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed assured him that no compromise will take place on the petitioners' fundamental rights and right to a fair trial. He reminded the lawyer that his client was free to cross-examine the witnesses during the trial.

The Sup*reme Court had on Thursday asked Sharif to have trust in the court, which had "always come to his rescue" in the past.

“There is no need to get apprehensive merely beca*use one decision has come against you,” Justice Asif Saeed Khosa observed while addressing senior counsel Khawaja Haris Ahmed, representing Sharif.

The observation came when Khawaja Haris expressed the reservation that his client might not get a fair trial in the accountability court since everything in the corruption references against Nawaz Sharif and his children had been attributed to the Supreme Court.

“When I go to the trial court I will have to assail the manner the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) conducted inquiry against my client, which will be difficult due to the July 28 Supreme Court judgement that carries tags like ‘godfather’ against him [Nawaz Sharif] and because everything in the reference had been attributed to the apex court,” the counsel said.

I still think the lower courts are corrupt and NAB will delibrately make mistakes and mess up the prosecution to let off the Sharifs. But at least it gives some sleepless nights to the thieves and NS will stand disqualified for a long time.
 
Religious parties, who severely denounced Nawaz Sharif and his political party and vowed to boycott and punish Nawaz Sharif and the PML-N, have announced their support for Begum Kulsoom. A total of 20 religious parties are supporting the PML-N.

Our religious leaders are top-grade hypocrites and money and power-hungry. [MENTION=42103]web[/MENTION] Guru
 
Tomorrow lahore will decide against 5 judges and trash their verdict.
Maybe establishment setup a jit against lahori voters.

Anyway, losers have already started the blame game...

So what you are indirectly saying is that Nawaz Sharif is clean?

The verdict against him is that he failed to declare his salary. There are few cases referred for further proceedings and these cases will have verdicts in next 6 months and then we will know if he's clean or not.

At the moment he is disqualified by 5 judges and tomorrow, the ultimate court will reject or confirm 5 judges' decision (I am paraphrasing but i think IK also called this election as a referendum about the verdict)

Do not know where Sharif Family lives, cannot forward summons- Pakistan High Commission UK


There are so many videos of them coming out of & going into Avenfield House. Long live democracy!
 
I hope, wish & pray that Justice prevails. If Sharif's earnt money through corruption, if Sharif's did tax evasion, if Sharif's did money laundering than I hope they are convicted and heavily punished.


But I don't see PML N or Sharif's politics dying in next 25 years atleast because Like Bhutto is loved & worshipped even today in the same way Sharif is loved & worshipped though at a smaller magnitude.


I was in primary school I guess when Zardari got jailed on multiple corruption charges. PPP got wiped from Punjab. People said now Bhutto has died & PPP is history. Sharif got 2/3rd majority in 1997. He looked mighty.


After more than a decade in 2008 Elections which for me was more fair than 2013 Elections who won ? PPP. PPP made gov in Centre and who won in Punjab under Musharaff's nose ? Nawaz Sharif.


If there are fair elections than how many seats will PML lose combining both MPA & MNA seats ? Atmost 50 ? 60 ?


Ok if there is gross rigging in favour of PPP than PML N will get wiped off for the time being. 5 years ? 10 years ? Will people forget Nawaz & Shehbaz ? Really ?

10 years later their children & grand children will be bagging Sharif's vote.


A 80 % burnt patient on death Bed fighting for his Life meets Nawaz Sharif for the first time and tells him that for years he had dreamed about meeting Nawaz Sharif and today his wish got fulfilled. You think this love will vanish with Panama Case verdict ? If you think so than you don't know Pakistanis or Pakistan's history.


We all sit here and rightly criticise PML N & PPP especially for their performance in Education & Health plus the Corruption scandals we are fed with.

But majority of Us totally ignore that what % age of Pakistan is from class, lower middle class, poverty striken social class ? Who are we at PP ? Those who can afford new clothes at Eid, can eat stuff we like, can afford internet but what about majority and their State ?

For this, jiski naali, serhak pakki hogaee, jiskay gaoun mein school dispensaey bana di gaee, jiski galli pakki hogaee, jisay loan mil gaey, jisay taxi mil gaee you think k wo Nawaz Sharif ya Bhutto ko bhool jaey ga ? Bhutto ne jin ghareeboun ko 50 saal pehlay ghar diye thay wo tou aaj takk bhutto ko nai bhoolay.


Pakistan has massive massive problems on many many fronts. Progress is not satisfactory but even this Looli Langrhee democracy has delivered to Masses and masses do not forget it.


Was Pervez Elahi's performance poor ? Dollar remained static at 58-60. We got massive foreign aid for supporting USA. But when Nawaz came back what did people do ? They saw Pervez Elahi as someone who stabbed Sharif in his back post Military Coup and they once again voted Sharif whom they had not forgotten.


Zia thought He would crush PPP through launching Sharif. He failed & PPP exists even today. But in the process He did huge blunder of Creating another Bhutto. A Sharif whom only 1000 people knew is today loved, supported & voted by Millions. Harsh Reality & it won't change because of the national circumstances & situation which masses face day in and day out.



اب بولو۔ اب لکھو۔ اب بتائو۔


I Told you so but you were not willing to accept facts & realities.


Dr Yasmin Rashid fought and fought very well indeed. Hats off to her but you cannot wipe off Hubb e Sharif's from the hearts of Sizeable number of People of Punjab.


NA-120 RESULT ?


Come On Bash my Post now :-)

JazaakAllah.


Have you joined PTI Social media team officially or it's your personal passion ??


SC decision was dumb & too poor. I don't know whether NAB & FIA would do anything significant.
 
According to rumors, the ruling party will introduce the following amendments:

1. Selection of the CJP by the government.
2. Reducing NAB power.
