JIT suggests reopening of 5 decided cases, 8 probes and 2 inquiries against PM!

SANA MAHMOOD 

ISLAMABAD: JIT has recommended reopening of 15 cases against PM, five of which were decided by LHC.

According to details three of the said cases were registered during the PPP tenures (1994 and 2011) while 12 were registered during Musharraf regime following toppling of Sharif Govt. in October 1999.

It is pertinent to mention here that 8 probes include NAB’s quest into PM clan’s four London apartments that commenced in December 1999.

PM all ready to challenge JIT report in SC:

PM clan has raised a number of arguments against the JIT focusing on the objections:

i) That the team’s findings were not supported by testified documents;

ii) That stance of JIT towards PM’s clan was prejudiced;

iii) That PM’s cousin Tariq Shafi and son Hussain Nawaz were harassed by JIT members.

According to the sources PM’s family is ready to submit a petition to SC requesting the apex court to decide their plea before any further action.

The petition challenging the JIT report will be filed by a legal team comprising of four lawyers headed by Khawaja Haris.
