Panamagate case: London flats were bought through Qatari investments, Sharif family tells SC

[Verve]

This letter by Qatari Aladdin is another blunder by PMLN - a big one at that too. More of their hidden wealth is going to be exposed in coming years because of this. Giving Pakistani projects to your Qatari business partners is what exactly?

It is becoming obvious that Allah has ordered the undoing of the corrupt from our land and the start is with the Shariff family.

 

[The Eagle]

Right now this letter doesn't worth more than a paper which can be stacked away without any reservations. For legality and admissibility of the letter, he (prince) has to appear before the court and as law requires has to be cross examined by the court as well as by lawyers of the petitioners. Even if the letter attains legality it does not necessarily mean that whatever it contains will be taken for it. While being cross examined he will have to satisfy the courts by backing his statements with documentary evidence -- evidence like accounts, agreements, mode of settlement etc etc.

Flats were not gifts, according to the letter, so questions about personal wealth or Qataris taxpayer money are pretty much irreverent. Prince says flats in London were registered in the ownership of two offshore companies, the bearer certificates of companies were kept in Qatar, Sharifs were allowed to use the flats because of good relationships between them and us. Basically what he says is that the prince owned those two offshore companies hence those associated flats and in 2006 as per the will of Mian Sharif the companies (bearer shares) and associated flats were transferred to Hussain Nawaz through settlement of the accounts.



The judge asserted if Sharifs want to make this letter a part of the record then it has to be shared with all the parties, otherwise it won't be admitted. Had the council for Sharifs denied the letter wouldn't have been admitted as evidence.

Just to add-on, IMO, true that subjected Letter does not mention anything w.r.t. money being paid to Sharif's family however, as the same is filed as Annexure Such & Such, if the respondent side relied solely upon the same, then it is going to be the evidence as witness (Prince) because it is being drafted on personal grounds. Also, petitioner side can file an application in the meantime to verify the authenticity of the letter through proper channel whereby Court can write to the Concerned quarters in this regard whereby the witness has to appear before the Court. As soon as Affidavit-in-evidence is filed on behalf of such witness, I am sure, firstly, the Court will examine-in-chief the Prince w.r.t. the contents of the letter and it's authentication so then the same witness would be handed over to the both sides for Cross-Examination. So seems like, relying upon the letter and filing an evidence of the Prince, would be proven attempts of suicide as one after another. Also, it is up-to petitioners that how they peruse the matter.

 

[Jzaib]

Just a letter on his (prince) letterhead.

True that like Sharifs the Qatri prince is also a star of Panama papers. According to Babar Awan two thieves can't bailout each other.

Do you have any idea how much ikram Shiekh charge for a case ?

What do u think about PTi legal team ? Why they don't have expense well know lawyer ?

All well know lawyers are high priced, Akram Sheikh is no exception. They become exceptionally high priced when the charges are paid by the state/province, lawyers close to ruling politicos always grow fat beyond their capacity. Babar Awan, Farooq H Naik would charge exceptionally high when they would represent PPP led government in certain cases.

This case however has got nothing to do with state, Sheikh has been appointed privately and rest assured he's not going to charge even penny, Bakshish is something else. http://www.dawn.com/news/1100883

PTI lawyer team in this case is not weak either - Naeem Bukhari, Babar Awan & Hamid Khan to name a few are well known lawyers (& expensive too if you're interested in expensive lawyers)

 

[Leader]

the sharifs always claimed otherwise, never mentioned that they took money from a prince who was 2 years old at that time

 

[CHACHA"G"]

ITS NOT THE FIRST TIME

It all comes down to Pakistani people giving Nawaz Sharif money to rule Pakistan

 

[SBD-3]

@SBD-3 and @Danish saleem bhie kya scene ha ?

PTI ka scene off hogya

Qatari Prince was 2 years old when such deal happened in 1980. How he know about this deal or is it just a fake claim to save Nawaz.
Qatari Prince is also not coming to Pakistan because he will be arrested due to his claim. Advice to Qatari Prince, he should ignore this ill minded Nawaz Sharif because he will gain nothing from this inquiry done by SC of Pakistan.

Nawaz want to damage relationship between two brotherly Countries. How much irresponsible he is !!!! Shame !!!!!!!

Qatari Prince Jassim bin Hamad was born on 25 August 1978.

You can make a fool out of General Public but you can't fool Supreme Court Nawaz Sharif.

Its Hamad bin Jassim, not Jassim bin Hammad

I guess all sense of reading, seeing or understanding have been extremely deteriorated in PTI and PPP's camp.

[GumNaam]

No mention of Qatar in address to parliament + letter from this shady Qatari prince = lying = conviction under article 62 and 63 = disqualification from holding any public office including pm office

Math is pretty simple. Let's see if the sc delivers.

 

[Danish saleem]

1. When Musharraf was in Pakistan, why did PMLN govt let him leave the country?
2. PMLN is still in power, why don't they arrest the so called chor that you are referring to?
3. You support NS, even though you know that he is corrupt, has laundered money of the people of Pakistan and he lied to the whole country while addressing on the floor of the parliament, so whats your logic for supporting NS?

1. when NS is corrupt then why Musharaaf allow him to leave the country?
2. I agree with your point . and i hope IK and Jhangeer tareen will face the courts tooo.
3. I am voter of PTI and my name is still in worker list of District Central Karachi, but the Problem in PTI is if someone criticise , so all of you assume that person is a supporter of PML N.

Chirya says this prince name appeared in Hillary leaked emails as funder of isis

1. I am not a spokesman or supporter of Musharaf, but everyone knows that there were phone calls from the US and Saudi for release of NS and NS did a 10 year deal with Mushi.
2. What crime do you want IK to face courts?
3. You have claimed many times that you are a voter of PTI but sorry no one believes you, as you never criticize NS and even now when everyone is talking about the case of NS corruption you are bringing in Musharaf. Also your every single post is anti PTI and pro PMLN so what do you expect people to believe

PM rejects evidence submitted by PTI in Panamagate case

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Thursday submitted his reply in the ongoing Panamagate case in which claimed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s proofs against him were baseless.

PTI chief Imran Khan has not produced solid evidences, he told the Supreme Court, adding that all petitions must be dismissed. The top court is set to resume hearing in the Panama Leaks case today.

Following PM Nawaz’s submission, Chief Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali said, “The court wants to conclude the case as early as possible.”

The premier’s children on Wednesday contended before the SC that documentary evidence presented by the PTI in support of its allegations against them were not substantial and concrete.

As the five-judge larger bench of the apex court – headed by Chief Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali – is resuming hearing of the Panamagate case, the Sharif family counsel Akram Sheikh submitted an application on behalf of Maryam Nawaz, Hussain Nawaz and Hassan Nawaz.

The application stated that the controversy as raised in the PTI’s petition relates to the allegation that Maryam is the owner of properties bearing Flats No 16, 16A, 17 and17A situated at Avenfield House, Park Lane, London (the properties) and, consequently, seeks disqualification of Premier Sharif and his son-in-law Captain (retd) Safdar from being members of the National Assembly on the ground that the premier has not declared the properties owned by Maryam for purportedly being dependent of him and spouse of Safdar in his tax returns as well as statement of assets and liabilities filed with the Election Commission of Pakistan.

Sharif’s children said that answering respondents have already submitted their concise statement and supplemental concise statement (contents whereof are reiterated herein and the same may be read as integral part of this application) refuting said allegations.

“In so far as the applications for additional documents are concerned, the same does not contain any substantiated, tangible, concrete, and admissible proof in relation to the aforesaid controversy. Even otherwise, the general allegations made and the documents appended with the Applications for Additional Documents are specifically and vehemently denied for being incorrect, erroneous, misconceived and inadmissible.”

Outcome as expected. PTI should not have been the party giving "evidence". This job is reserved for investigation agencies.

 

[problemfreeleader]

That was expected.
Any one in international business knows that producing documents for illegal money is not difficult at all.

It's very easy to show that money was transferred from any other other country but not from Pakistan.
Imran Khan trolled once again.
