The Supreme Court of Pakistan has said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif could be summoned for recording his statements in the Panamagate case.
A five-member bench headed by Justice Asif Saeed Khosa is hearing a slew of petitions against the Sharif family over corruption charges.
Responding to a plea by Jamaat-e-Islami counsel Advocate Taufiq Asif, Justice Asif Saeed Khosa said that the court may summon the Prime Minister if required after listening to the counsels of Sharif's children.
Taufiq Asif requested the top court to summon the Prime Minister and record his statement on the ownership of luxury apartments in London.
Justice Asif, however, made it clear that the Prime Minister would be summoned only after hearing arguments of both sides.
Meanwhile, Nawaz Sharif's daughter Maryam Nawaz in her written reply submitted to the apex court, today rejected the allegations once again that she was a beneficial owner of the London properties.
