ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) has set to hear a review petition filed by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) imprisoned leader Hanif Abbasi seeking disqualification of Prime Minister Imran Khan over non-disclosure of assets and ownership of offshore companies on October 10.
A three-member special bench of the SCP headed by Chief Justice Saqib Nisar will hear the case.
The review petition states “the facts relating to the Bani Gala land clearly show that the Respondent No. 1 was pursuing a deliberate plan to ensure that he could obtain the property as Benami and that there should be no public record of him acquiring the property directly in his own name in the revenue records”.
Back in December 2017, SCP rejected the petition of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Hanif Abbasi as it declared Prime Minister Imran Khan ‘cleared’ but disqualified Secretary General Jahangir Khan Tareen.
