ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Saqib Nisar on Saturday formed a new three-member bench to hear National Accountability Bureau (NAB) appeal to reopen Hudaibiya Paper Mills case against deposed prime minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif and his family members.
The bench will be headed by Justice Mushir Alam, while other members include Justice Qazi Faez Isa and Justice Mian Alam Khel.
The hearing on the appeal will be conducted on November 28.
Earlier, Justice Asif Saeed Khosa excused himself from the three-member bench that was formed to hear the petition filed by NAB against the Lahore High Court’s decision to quash the Hudaibiya Paper Mills case against the Sharif family. As the court proceedings went underway, Justice Khosa observed that he had already been part of the bench who had delivered the verdict in the Panama Papers case and it would thus be inappropriate for him to take up this case.
The court had then referred the case back to the CJP to form a new bench to continue with the hearing of the appeal.
