The JIT, tasked with investigating allegations of money laundering against the Sharif family, submitted its report to the SC on July 10. Volume X of the report, titled “Mutual Legal Assistance Requests ─ Ongoing”, is related to JIT’s international correspondence and the documents obtained from foreign countries during the investigation.
In their objections to the JIT report, filed before the SC earlier this week, the Sharif family and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar had described the investigators’ request to withhold Volume X “mala fide”.
During Monday’s proceedings, the judges had also expressed their willingness to consider making Volume X public.
The PML-N has been demanding to make the volume-10 public.
On Friday, Justice Azmat Saeed Sheikh while addressing Prime Minister counsel Khwaja Harris said: “Khwaja sahib Volume-10 is being opened on your request.”
Opening the sealed document, the bench reviewed it. Later, the bench handed over a copy of Volume 10 to Khwaja Harris.
Justice Azmat Saeed Sheikh said that the volume 10 will not be shared with anyone before Khwaja Sahib read the report.
