Sharif’s sugar mills case: SC to hear review petition tomorrow

Author: Daily Times Monitor

The Supreme Court on Saturday fixed February 25 as the date for hearing of a review petition in a case related to the sugar mills owned by the Sharif family, a private TV channel reported.

A new bench of the apex court has been formed to hear the review petition. The bench comprising Justice Azmat Saeed, Justice Amir Ata Bandial and Justice Qazi Faez Isa.

The Sharif family had moved the Supreme Court against the Lahore High Court’s (LHC) September 2017 decision ordering the shifting of their sugar mills out of southern Punjab.

In September 2017, the LHC had ordered the mills, owned by members of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his brother Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s family, to move out of the region. The bench, headed by then LHC chief justice Mansoor Ali Shah, had ordered that the Ittefaq, Haseeb Waqas and Chaudhry sugar mills be moved back within three months.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Jahangir Tareen had taken the Sharifs to the LHC over the illegal shifting of their sugar mills to southern Punjab despite a ban.
