ISLAMABAD: A special three-judge Supreme Court bench seized with the findings of the Panama Joint Investigation Team (JIT) observed on Thursday that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will have to face consequences if the money trail of London properties, said to be owned by his son, was not proved, ARY News reported.

Three-judge bench, headed by Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan, and comprising Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed and Justice Ijazul Ahsan, is hearing the arguments of Advocate Salman Akram Raja, the legal counsel for the PM’s children.

Justice Sheikh Azmat came down hard on the defense counsel for leaking these documents to media before placing them before the court and said, “You released the documents to the media, you better give arguments in front of the media. A dais was placed outside the court, go deliver arguments there as well.”

To which, the counsel said he was not aware of how these documents came to be in possession of media.
