SC adjourns super tax case until 15th

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Monday adjourned the hearing of the case challenging the imposition of super tax until April 15 due to Advocate Makhdoom Ali Khan’s unavailability.

A five-member constitutional bench headed by Justice Aminuddin Khan and comprising Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail, Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar, Justice Syed Hassan Azhar Rizvi, and Justice Shahid Bilal Hassan heard the case.

Advocate Shehzad Atta Elahi informed the court that tax cases unrelated to the super tax have also been transferred from the Lahore High Court to the Supreme Court. In response, Justice Aminuddin Khan asked the learned counsel, to submit a list if any of them have been mistakenly transferred and they will returned. The hearing was then adjourned until April 15, with Justice Aminuddin announcing that from now on, the case will be heard on a daily basis and no further adjournments will be granted.
