Abhi waisay check karna hai ke kitni funding hai ghair mulkion ki..

Fawad Chaudhry kal keh raha tha ke $ 500 ki aik receipt hai kisi Hindu ki... aur woh bhi baad main Pakistani hindu nikla..

Lekin check karna parega kitnay paisay involved hain.. kyun ke aaj SC ne kaha hai ke aap ne apparently beruni funding pehlay tou accept ki, then you returned it when the case hearing started last year...

not sure.. what are the options with SC>.

Exactly! ... we need to find out the available "options" and only then we can understand this case better.
But! I am sure that SC will make a mature and balanced decision. If the case was in EC then I would have expected any stupidity.

Well! actually this could be a good thing for the country in the long run.
A lot of foreign funding, including from KSA etc. is used to buy the votes and rig the elections. If SC can draw a line with regard to legality of foreign funding then this can only be GREAT.

Btw - I can't remember if I shared it with you guys here; today PTI bigwigs discussed options including boycotting next general elections depending on how certain things progress.

It's not final option but one of the many options based on a lot of ifs & buts though!

That is disappointing.....However, the SC will refer the case back to EC with some specific parameters (similar to 13 questions given JIT in Panama case). SC is a superior body and EC cannot hear the whole case from scratch. This will be tantamount to disrespect to SC.
What can happen is that SC can ask EC to clear certain aspects of the case from the election perspective - and this is the jurisdiction of EC.
Again! if EC dismissed the case last year and did not disqualify IK, then EC cannot disqualify now. I think, by law EC cannot go against its own previous decision. SC can reverse the decision taken by EC but has not done so.

Ab aap kiya jaan leingey noon toons ki:)

Sir! mulk ka bera garaq kar diya in logon ney.

Sir, the finding that comes from KSA doesn't have any receipts. No bank statements of transfers etc..

What IK has presented, a complete trail of money related to funding.. with names, and account numbers of the donating people. Sometimes, acting extremely honest can be dangerous, specially in a country where 99 out of 100 people are dishonest...

True! ... very true....the silver lining here is that if we can see it then SC can certainly see it. They will try and address it in a wider context for the country rather than in the context of a party (PTI).

The current judges in SC are actually excellent judges and hold a very good track record of giving good judgements in very high profile cases. Some names that I can recall:

J. Faisal Arab
J. Ata Bandyal
J. Qazi Issa
J. Khosa (@Farah Sohail's favourite :P)
and others

Who said that?

Settled meaning report is unanimously agreed to be published - that doesn't mean that punishment criterion will be revised. Even in today's notification; the charge of national security breach remains and three of them stand charged as for now.

Punishment of National Security Breach cannot be soft dismissals.

It will be soon challenged in court that if this is the maximum punishment, then perpetrating existential threat to country will be legalized and all actors including Kulbhushan et al should be pardoned.

ISLAMABAD: A joint investigation team (JIT) tasked with probing the financial interests of the Sharif family in line with the April 20 Supreme Court verdict in the Panamagate case has summoned complete record of the 17-year-old Hudaibya Paper Mills scam from the National Accountability Bureau.

Sources in NAB told The Express Tribune that the six-member JIT has asked the bureau to provide complete record of the Hudaibya Paper Mills case. Legal experts believe examining the record could prove to be damaging for the ruling family.

The top court in its April 20 verdict on the Panamagate, observed that the JIT may examine evidence and material, if any, already available with the FIA and NAB relating to or having any nexus with the possession or acquisition of the London flats or any other assets or pecuniary resources and their origin.

Seventeen years ago, NAB had claimed that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his family received over Rs1 billion “through illegal and fraudulent means” and that they were liable to be tried under anti-corruption laws, reveal documents submitted by the accountability watchdog before the Supreme Court on Monday.

The 2000 NAB proceedings came to the fore when the bureau’s prosecutor general, Waqas Qadeer Dar, submitted two references — related to the Hudaibya Paper Mills scam and ‘illegal’ construction of the Sharif family’s Raiwind estate — before the apex court.

In 2014, the Lahore High Court quashed the Hudaibya Paper Mills reference against the Sharif family and NAB did not challenge the LHC decision in the Supreme Court.

According to the NAB documents – a copy of which is available with The Express Tribune – Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam, father Mian Muhammad Sharif, brothers Shehbaz Sharif and Abbas Sharif, Abbas’ wife Sabiha, Nawaz’s son Hussain and Shahbaz’s son Hamza, had been accused of receiving ‘ill-gotten money’ in the case.

“All accused persons in collusion and with the connivance of each other appear to have committed acts of corruption and corrupt practices as defined under Section 9 read with Section 10 of the NAB Ordinance,” NAB’s former chairman Lt Gen Khalid Maqbool had told an accountability court.

It is interesting to note that NAB had filed two references in the Hudaibya Paper Mills case. Incumbent Finance Minister Ishaq Dar was nominated as an accused in the initial reference. But NAB in its final reference excluded his name after he recorded a confessional statement.

“There was an unexplained investment of Rs642.743 million appearing in books of the mill as share deposit money. The same belonged to the directors/shareholders and beneficial owners of the company, which they had fraudulently amassed under the garb of foreign equity investment,” said the final reference.

It said the company in 1999 settled its loan with the London-based Al Towfeek Company for Investment Funds by making a payment of $8.7 million and the source of this payment also appeared to be doubtful.

“It appears from the evidence that in order to launder and conceal their ill-gotten wealth, both the Sharif brothers appeared to have fraudulently opened fictitious foreign currency accounts in the names of various individuals with the active connivance of some of their close associates and employees.

“The amounts that have been deposited in the said accounts stand unexplained and appear to be beyond the known source of income of the accused individuals,” it said.

NAB in its final reference submitted that fraudulent accounts and deposits were used by the accused persons as collateral to obtain loans from various financial institutions.

Same deposits were released, encashed and proceeds were used to adjust the financial facilities availed by various companies owned by the accused persons.

NAB had also submitted documents of another reference before the Supreme Court about alleged illegal construction of the Raiwind estate, wherein the prime minister and his parents had been nominated as accused.

The reference stated that the Federal Investigation Agency had probed the illegal construction of houses at Raiwind and it was found that an area measuring 401 kanals was illegally acquired by the prime minister and his mother. This land had been used for the construction of palatial mansions and other ancillary buildings.

The total income of the accused persons (Sharif family) during 1992-2000 if added appeared to be Rs41.190 million but the total investment made by the accused persons for the construction of the buildings amounted to an estimated Rs247.357million.

The scam came to the limelight last month when the five-judge bench -– headed by Justice Asif Saeed Khosa -– took up the PTI’s plea seeking disqualification of Finance Minister Dar on charges of allegedly facilitating the Sharif family in laundering Rs1.2 billion.

ISPR clearly said dawn leaks matter has been resolved.. And all recommendations as per para 18 has been acted upon, and implemented by the PM.. In para 18.. There were so called recommendations or punishments for the accused..which was sacking of those ppl.......so whatever had to be done against ppl mentioned in the report..has been done already..... Even retired generals were saying tht there should have been interrogation under army act from these accused too, as per law... But chalein....agar COAS aur PM is par razi hogaye hain tu hum kia karsaktay hain? Gen Ijaz Awaz said this on tv
