CJP may not form JC over Panama scandal: SCBA

Author: Staff Report

ISLAMABAD: Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) President Ali Zafar said after his meeting with Chief Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali on Monday that the latter was not likely to form a judicial commission on the Panama leaks. “I am not sure the chief justice will form a judicial commission to probe the Panama leaks,” Zafar told the media after his meeting with Chief Justice Jamali. Zafar said he discussed the issue of Panama leaks with the chief justice and the letter sent by the government for a judicial commission on the issue. “The chief justice did not give any assurance on the issue and in my opinion the Supreme Court is not going to entertain the letter sent by the government,” Zafar said. The SCBA president said the “issue of Panama leaks has been made so controversial by the political parties that the apex court is reluctant to pursue the matter”.
