Supreme Court issues contempt of court notice to Jang Group over ‘inaccurate reporting’

The notice was taken on a news titled “Panama JIT ‘doesn’t find PM guilty,’ but his sons”. Urdu version of the news was also published in Roznama Jang.

While quoting the sources close to the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) probing the Panama Papers case against Sharif family, The News International stated that the JIT has not held Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif responsible of any wrongdoing.

“The JIT has cast some doubts about the prime minister in absence of any reasonable evidence but at no place has held the Prime Minister responsible of doing any illegal thing,” the paper reported.
During case proceeding today, the apex court has sought replies from reporter Ahmad Noorani and Mir Shakil-ur-Rehman within seven days.

“This is direct contempt of court,” Justice Ijazul Hassan said, adding that the case is being constantly misreported.

Hearing of the case has been adjourned till July 17.
