The Supreme Court on Thursday deferred the announcement of its ruling on video recording of interrogation of witnesses by the joint investigation team (JIT) probing the Panama Papers case since its members were busy interrogating Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif at the Federal Judicial Academy.
On Wednesday, the three-judge special implementation bench, headed by Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan, had adjourned its proceedings for Thursday on video recording of interrogation of witnesses and concerns expressed by the JIT over impediments being created in its way by some government institutions.
On Thursday Justice Khan, addressing Attorney General (AG) Ashtar Ausaf, observed that the court had been told that the JIT members were not available today.
The AG was required to inform the court about his response after looking into a JIT application highlighting impediments in their way by tampering with documents by the government institutions. The court had asked the AG to address the concerns voiced by the JIT and suggest remedial measures to rectify the same.
