Sharif family lawyers split over decision to file review in Panama case

ISLAMABAD: Top legal brains representing the Sharif family are in a “to be or not to be” situation on the issue of filing a review petition in the Supreme Court against its orders in Panama case. 

Some of them are advising Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif not to go for filing the review but others are of the view that a review petition should be filed.  An informed aide of Prime Minister Office said on Monday,  “All aspects of the judgment have been analysed threadbare.

The Sharif family will face the JIT and there is a determination to come out clean. There is a resolve to produce evidence and witnesses to clear their name.  This they feel will clear the name of the family [members]. 

The Sharif family is upset because they think that the attitude of one of the judges with them remained harsh, revealed one of the ruling party’s legal advisers who also met the prime minister this week.
