ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s children on Wednesday told the Supreme Court that documents produced by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in support of its allegations against them were not substantial and concrete. The children of the prime minister further said that the 600 documents do not relate to the allegations and grounds made in PTI Chief Imran Khan’s original petition.
Cautioning the PTI, the children said that if the party intends to rely on such documents then they reserve the right to submit the replies of each document. Through their counsel Advocate Akram Sheikh, the children moved another application in the top court, requesting it to place the submission of filing replies over each document on record.
Imran Khan, in his original petition, had stated that the PM’s daughter Maryam Nawaz is the owner of properties bearing flats no. 16, 16A, 17 and 17A situated at Avenfield House, Park Lane London and sought disqualification of PM Nawaz Sharif and his son-in-law Captain (r) Muhammad Safdar from being members of the National Assembly on the grounds that Nawaz Sharif had not declared the properties owned by his daughter.
Maryam, Hassan and Hussain Nawaz reiterated that the documents produced by PTI were inadmissible proof to support the allegations. “The documents do not contain any substantiated, tangible, concrete and admissible proof in relation to the controversy,” the application stated. “Even otherwise, the general allegations made and the documents appended with the applications for additional documents are specifically and vehemently denied,” it further said.
During the last hearing, Justice Azmat Saeed Sheikh, a member of five judge larger bench, expressed dissatisfaction over the conduct of PTI’s legal team for submitting a bundle of documents that were mostly press clippings.
