ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) of Pakistan will resume hearing of the Panama Papers case on November 1 – just a day before the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) protest against the government.
A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Anwar Zaheel Jamali would hear the petitions regarding offshore business interests of Pakistanis revealed in the massive data leak of Panamanian law firm. The data leak called Panama Papers was released by the International Consortium of Journalists in April – triggering investigations in different countries.

The bench was hearing the petitions including two petitions filed by the PTI calling for the disqualification of the prime minister. PTI chief had filed a petition praying the court to stop Prime Minister Nawaz and Finance Minister Dar from working and order an inquiry against the prime minister and his family.
Three more petitions were filed by Jamat-e-Islami (JI) Chief Sirajul Haq, Awami Muslim League (AML) Chief Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed and Watan Party relating to the Panama Papers
