The SC can't decide that IMO. The Parliament has to do so.

The respondents probably knew this and that is why they submitted the reply so late so nobody will be able to rebut.

I am convinced now that there is enough evidence to satisfy what the judges wanted before invoking 62/63. If they fail to disqualify Nawaz Sharif by accepting that he was not required to declare the 10,000 he was entitled to but did not receive, I will believe that the Supreme Court has failed...

Then the PM was entitled to the Salary and he should have listed it. There is no way that a misdeclaration was not made here.

But they HAVE accepted the documents today have they not?

The PM was entitled to the salary and therefore should have declared it.

I wonder how much weight SECP records will have now that there are record tampering allegations against them. A salary is generally not an asset. Are you sure he has to declare this?

Someone on this thread pointed out that you have to declare sources of income as assets. I can't seem to find any official confirmation of that. Can someone please link it for me. If the PM was required to declare his income on the ECP, he is a goner. Unfortunately, if he was only required to...

That question may be the answer to what the judges will decide.

You are right. Nawaz's defence that he did not withdraw a salary won't stand in Court. They need proof to say he did not "withdraw" a salary when they have accepted that on the Iqama it does indeed say he had a salary. Salaries are paid not withdrawn. Have the petitioner's lawyers raised this...

The decision by this Court cannot be appealed. This is not a trial but a constitutional petition. 62/63 is part of the constitution and in falls upon the SC to decide whether or not Nawaz Sharif fulfills those requirements. Unfortunately, a failure to disclose essential information through the...

I don't doubt the integrity of the judges. Read the judgement and you'll know what I mean. None of the judges have declared Nawaz innocent. It's more about their interpretation of the Court's powers and facts before them. Unfortunately, while there is enough incriminating evidence that Nawaz has...

Can you point out the exact area where there is irrefutable proof that he lied? Was he required to declare his chairmanship and salary that he "didn't withdraw" on this form? The three judges will have to decide on this but I want to know which way it's going to go.

It looks this was a political move rather than a legal one. The judges have already expressed their unhappiness after Salman Raja (re)released "new" documents to the media before the court.

Not really. They don't bring a new twist. The PM has said nothing new. It would have been better to stay quiet than say It is up to the respondent to prove that the accepted evidence of the 10,000 AED is wrong. On the one hand they can't refute that the Iqama form that says he had a salary of...

That's the media report and the claim made by the lawyer. Nowhere on the passport page does it say he was the chairman or ever had employment. They're saying that because the Iqama copy was attached, he did not hide his chairmanship. That will be for the judges to decide. The only reason they...

The thing is that now that He has only submitted his visa page which does not mention his employment. He has not submitted his employment details. Does anyone have the 25 page reply? It seems like the PM is trying to get away on technical grounds. In any case, the problem lies here: Are...

If he gets away from being disqualified using those arguments, it will become obvious that not everyone is treated the same under the law in pakistan. The next time someone is caught murdering, he will just say it was a mistake--the gun's aim didn't work.

In my opinion, the longer it takes the better. It means that the judges may have examined the new evidence and come to a different conclusion. It wouldn't take many days to say that the new evidence is insufficient to prove that Nawaz Sharif is dishonest. I don't think they can discard their...

Because the Supreme Court isn't a trial court and can only decide whether Nawaz Sharif is dishonest or not.
