Objections of Hussain Nawaz on JIT members are premature: Supreme Court

It stated that the objections, made by premier’s son Hussain Nawaz on two members of Joint Investigation Team (JIT) for Panama case, were not worth consideration while declaring it a premature condition.

The apex court believes the investigation cannot be called partial on the basis of the relatives of Bilal Rusool, JIT member from the Security and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).

The political affiliations of Bilal Rasool’s relatives were insufficient to raise concern on the impartiality of the JIT, according to Supreme Court ruling.

Similarly, it was said Hussain Nawaz’s objection on Amir Aziz, JIT member from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), is not worth consideration.

Supreme Court said the investigation officers will not be replaced on such allegations, adding that the society was filled with such relatives.

In the written order, the apex court assured to take action if partial behaviour from any JIT member was observed. Supreme Court asked the JIT to consider human dignity.
