ISLAMABAD: Sharif family on Monday challenged the final report of the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) terming it biased and going beyond mandate and pleaded the Supreme Court to reject it.
The petition raised various objections over the JIT report for its findings without using testified documents and the sources. It also alleged biased attitude of the JIT members towards Sharif family.
The six-member JIT constituted by the apex court under April 20th verdict submitted its report on July 10 after probing the financial dealings of the Sharifs for 60 days. The report accused the family of being untruthful and having assets beyond means.
The tenth volume, dealing with the Mutual Legal Assistance correspondence, has been kept under wraps as replies are still awaited from some foreign countries to the letters written by the JIT.
The four-member legal team lead by Khwaja Haris represented Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his family. Finance Minister Ishaq Dar’s counsel also challenged the JIT conclusions.
Following are some of the objections raised by the prime minister:
