ISLAMABAD (TIP): The Pakistan Supreme Court on Friday, July 28, disqualified Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from office in the Panamagate graft case.

The court had recently resumed the hearing of the high-profile case against Sharif and his family, a week after a probe panel in its final report recommended filing of the case against him and his children.

The six-member Joint Investigation Team (JIT), set up by the apex court to investigate charges of money laundering against 67-year-old Sharif, submitted its 60-day investigation report to the court on July 10.

It recommended filing of a corruption case against him and his children after finding “significant” disparities in their income and actual wealth.

The JIT report recommended that a corruption case should be filed against Sharif and his sons Hassan Nawaz and Hussain Nawaz, as well as daughter Maryam Nawaz, under the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) ordinance 1999. Agencies
