SC dismisses pleas challenging 26th constitutional amendments

The Supreme Court of Pakistan has dismissed the review petitions filled by the deposed Prime Minister Nawaz Shairf, his children and the Finance Minister Ishaq Dar against the Panama Papers verdict of July 28.

As per details, the court had reserved its verdict on the review petitions after the lawyers for all petitioners completed their arguments earlier on Friday.

It is pertinent to mention here that, 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, three of his children, son-in-law and the finance minister.
