LAHORE: The Central Shura of the Jamaat e Islami, has desired that a larger bench of the Supreme Court should carry the Panama leaks case against the Prime Minister and his family to its logical end, but if the court felt the need for setting up an enquiry commission, orders in this regard should also be issued without further delay.
