Government brings in Quran in defence of its case against Justice Isa

[HRK]

It has been widely reported, that's why I even quoted the Tribune link. Farogh Naseem has become a laughing stock since this statement.

bhai he quoted Quranic verse translation of which given wrong in both of your sources [in the tweet and the Tribune]

Secondly all the proceedings of the case have establish that

- Property is claimed by the wife of Qazi Faez Isa and Isa also accept this

- It is also establish that Property was not declared

- So the crime of tax evasion is proved which even Faez Isa lawyer is not contradicting

- Property is purchased abroad on Cash Payment, without declaring the source of income or the source generation of cash, which give raise to the suspicion of corrupt practices for a Supreme Court Judge

- No trail of money transfer is given till todate and government has not find any record of transfer of money through official channels which mean Hawala channel is used which itself is a CRIME

- As per tax declarations of Faez Isa weif she was not in position to purchase property

So you tell me as per official record claim of Isa wife for the ownership of property does not become dubious .... ???

One should not suspect that Faez Isa as the actual beneficial owner who is using his wife as front lady to hide himself, let me tell you it's a common practice of using wife or daughter name to hide actual beneficial owner. You can ask anyone who has worked in financial sector of Pakistan

Now government has to respond on only 4 grounds

- Legal basis of Asset Recovery Unit

- Government is not Spying on Supreme Court Judges

- All the proofs which Government has gathered till now are gathered through 'Legal Means'

- Government have 'No Malafide Intentions' in this case [as accused by Faez Isa]

Can you please quote a source for the highlighted statement?

As far as I know, Justice Isa himself has declared more property in Pakistan alone than what he and his wife is accused of buying abroad.

This is like a new low.

ISLAMABAD:

A Supreme Court judge on Friday asked the federal government to treat judiciary in accordance with the law as he noted that judges are even more accountable for their acts than others.


“An impression has been created that judges are above the law. Perhaps we are more accountable than anyone else. I am conveying this on behalf of brother judges that we are not above the law but treat us in accordance with law,” said Justice Maqbool Baqar.

Justice Baqar was responding to the arguments of federal government’s attorney Dr Farogh Naseem as part of a ten-judge full court that on Friday resumed hearing a slew of petitions against a presidential reference filed against Supreme Court judge Qazi Faez Isa.

The reference that was filed with the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) in May last year sought Justice Isa’s removal claiming that he had committed misconduct by not disclosing in his wealth statement his family members properties in the United Kingdom.

Justice Baqar wondered who stopped the federal government from initiating tax proceedings against the petitioner judge’s spouse.

“Why is the government shying away from proceeding [against Justice Isa’s family members] in accordance with tax laws? Questioning the judge to give a money trail [for the properties] is premature. You have to establish that the judge’s source of funds was used to purchase the UK properties,” he said.

During the proceedings, the federal government’s attorney Dr Farogh Naseem once again emphasized that Justice Isa is bound to disclose properties owned by his spouse.

“Failure of the judge to give a money trail is tantamount to misconduct. It is the obligation of the sacred trust. The judge is unable to explain the property of the spouse,” Dr Naseem said. “

He said the SJC is the only forum which can proceed against the judges.

However, Justice Baqar asked which law is violated by Justice Isa.

Dr Naseem cited an Islamic law to establish that the husband has close proximity with his wife. He said husbands are protectors and guardians of their wives and are responsible for them. Justice Qazi Muhammad Amin Ahmed asked him if the same Islamic principle will apply to non-Muslim judges.

Dr Naseem replied that the position will not change because even in Hinduism there is no concept of independence between husband and wife at all. “After all, Hindu wives used to jump into the fire when their husbands were being cremated,” he said.

Justice Mansoor Ali Shah told Dr Naseem that he referred to the Islamic law out of context. He wondered if the government’s counsel was implying that women had no legal rights in Pakistan.

Justice Umar Ata Bandial, the presiding judge of the bench, asked the counsel if a judge is answerable to all financial interests of his wife.

Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah asked Dr Naseem if there was any research on the principle of proximity that the government counsel is referring to.

He wondered how an agency – the Assets Recovery Unit (ARU) – can be established through rules of business. The ARU – formed by the PTI led federal government after it came into power in 2018 – collected evidence about the UK properties of Justice Isa’s family.

Justice Shah also asked as how Justice Isa’s wife can be declared as being dependent on him if she is a tax filer. He also questioned the government’s claim that details of London property can be obtained just by mentioning name of the owner.

Justice Baqar said the principle of proximity cannot be applied in vacuum. He wondered how the federal government can accuse that these are unexplained properties. “Have you ever asked the judge’s spouse to explain the source fund regarding purchase of these properties?” he questioned.

The bench asked the counsel to explain under which law the petitioner judge must explain assets belonging to his wife and why tax authorities don’t simply ask the wife who is an independent tax payer. The hearing of the case has been adjourned until June 15.

Tweets replaced with the article. Random tweets which are obviously misquoting the events (as evident from the article) aren't exactly a credible news source.

Thanks for that, but the tweets were not misquoting anything, tweets actually showed the whole picture, the Tribune article held back on the details of the exchange.

Watch Sadiq Jan videos of reporting on Court proceedings about this case .... for quick summary

BTW below are IT record as per Faez Isa Lawyer [source link]

Advocate Babar Sattar informed the SC full court that Zarina Montessarat Khoso Carrera, wife of Justice Isa, had paid Rs104,000 as tax in the tax year 2009, Rs143,055 in 2010 and Rs147,883 in 2011, whereas Prime Minister Khan paid Rs103,763 as tax in the tax year 2017.

And Read the remarks of Justice Maqbool Baqar who is the member of the bench listening Qazi Faez Isa case and he is the same person who is nowadays very famous for his remarks about the Government in which he threateningly remind the dismissal of one of the previous Government on the charges of Spying on Supreme Court Judges

“Your argument is that the wife of the petitioner judge is financially as independent as the prime minister himself,” observed Justice Maqbool Baqar, a member of the bench. He, however, said that paying income tax did not mean that she had sufficient amount to acquire the offshore properties.

Following is the remarks by Justice Bandial which are not only important but clarify the basic structure of the case before the court

“We are not chartered accountants sitting here and looking at the documents; the only case before us is the source of the funds,” Justice Bandial clarified.

Following is the observation of Justice Faisal Arab

Justice Faisal Arab reminded the counsel that he had omitted to look into the allegation that since the assets had not been disclosed, the property had not been accounted for. Since the purchase of the assets had taken place abroad and the money had gone abroad, money laundering must have allegedly taken place, he observed, adding that this matter had not been addressed by the counsel.

Now you tell me these remarks and observations are publicised in media with the same zeal and spirit as some segments who are hellbent to defend Faez Isa on any cost without addressing basic questions of the case were propagating fake news about government just fews days back

And now following is an "Interesting" coincidence about filing of IT declaration of Faez Isa's wife [source]

“She did not file tax declarations for the years 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018,” FBR added. “She was issued system-generated notices under section 114 of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001.”

Interestingly she did not find it necessary to file tax declaration soon after when Qazi Faez Isa became Judge in Supreme Court of Pakistan

Justice Qazi Faez Isa took oath as a Judge of the Supreme Court of Pakistan on September 5, 2014. He now lives in Islamabad with his wife who he’s been married to for 36 years.
