SC Denounces Justice Khosa, Imran Khan Meeting Rumors

Islamabad (August 1, 2017): The Supreme Court denouncing the rumors regarding the meeting between PTI chairman Imran Khan and Justice Asif Saeed Khہsa has said that the court remarks were only in connection with lock down during the hearing of Panama case.

According to the details, Supreme Court spokesperson clarified the widespread perception claiming Imran Khan and leader of 5-member Panama case bench Justice Asif Saeed Khosa met privately before the hearings of the case against Sharif family. Such reports were denied and it was stated that the court’s observations were interpreted wrongly.

“Justice Asif Saeed Khusa never met or talked with Imran Khan in private capacity throughout his life has no personal acquaintance with the gentleman, however airing his November 1 remarks as interview shape is unrealistic, unfortunate and malicious,” Registrar Supreme Court Arbab Muhammad Arif said in his statement issued by the supreme Court.It adds that at the time when Khan announced the capital’s lock down, the Panama Papers case was already in the SC and Khosa had told all political parties that the supreme court is only forum to resolve the issues.

The notice maintains that the judge had observed that since the courts have taken “cognizance of the matter”, the parties must avoid any steps that will likely “cause extreme hardship to the citizens at large”.

Regarding the insinuations in some sections of the social, print and electronic media that in a recent interview with a private TV channel, the PTI chief had stated that he had been requested by the SC judge to file a petition before the SC in connection with the Panama Papers scandal, Arif said, “The allegation is absolutely unfounded and completely untrue.The interview itself refers to some observations made in the courtroom during a judicial proceeding.”

Earlier, Imran Khan had also clarified that the judge never talked to him in private and certain media organisation is conspiring against him. During an interview, PTI chairman had recalled Islamabad lockdown scene and Justice Asif Khosa s remarks.
