Technically law was broken.
$10 or $100000000 if sent illegally is illegal in the eye of law.
Yes, and the punishment for that is confiscation of the prohibited funds and deposit in National Bank.
If the law says the punishment for car jacking is 7 years, you cannot give the other guy a death sentence.
Affidavit or Certificate, if is fake is same thing. Submitting fake documents and careless attitude is usual thing for Pakistani politicians just like calibiri documents.
PTI should face this legally with full bench court and come out of this clean and gain more popularity instead of twisting things.
The SC has already ruled that to disqualify someone on the basis of 61(f), you have to prove that the wrong undertaking was with a malafide intent and there was malice involved for personal gain.
In this case, it evidently isn't so. The scrutiny committee (of the ECP itself, not PTI), says that the accounts and all details are correct, but there was a mistake by the accountant in reconciliation.
To put it in dumber words, I get a task by my client to buy 10 items and then get it reimbursed. I buy them and give the receipts of the 10 items to the client, the receipts have the amounts and are correct. But while tallying the sum of the receipts, I make a mistake. The receipts total to 1000, but I give the total sum as 900.
Furthermore, the certificate says that everything is true to the best of your knowledge. And to the knowledge of IK, everything was.
The accountant told him the total is 1000, he said yeah it's 1000 and signed it off.
Had it been the case keh accountant tells him it's 1000, but he then changes it to 900, that's a no go.
But is mulk main jab kisi ko farigh karna ho to law ki khichri banana mushkil kaam nhn, so let's see.
