October 17, 2017
ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Tuesday noted discrepancies in the additional documents submitted by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan regarding his money trail.
While hearing a petition on Tuesday filed by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Hanif Abbasi, the three-member bench of the apex court said even the additional documents have loopholes as they do not show if £100,000 were in the account of Niazi Services Limited for legal fees.
Responding to questions being raised on £100,000, Imran’s counsel, Advocate Naeem Bukhari, said the amount was earned abroad, therefore, no tax would have been levied on it.
However, speaking about the non-disclosure of the amount, Bukhari requested the court to be granted a chance to provide a new set of documents.
The apex court adjourned the hearing until Wednesday and sought response from the petitioner over Bukhari’s request .
Questions were raised on £100,000 as details submitted by Imran earlier showed the balance of Niazi Services Limited account to be zero. However, later, the amount was shown in the account.
The previous documents showed that £100,000, which were in the account were spent on legal matters, therefore, Imran did not have any money to show regarding the bank details of Niazi Services Limited.
