SC to resume hearing Jahangir Tareen disqualification case today
The three-member Supreme Court bench hearing the disqualification case against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Secretary General Jahangir Khan Tareen will resume proceedings at 11:30am today.
On Wednesday, the bench sought answers to five questions from Tareen’s counsel.
The questions are when was Jahangir Tareen’s trust formed, when was the offshore company formed, who’s the legal and beneficial owner of the company, when and for how much was the offshore company formed, and how many times did he give funds as gifts to his children from 2002-17?
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Hanif Abbasi had petitioned the apex court to disqualify Tareen and PTI Chairman Imran Khan for hiding their assets.
The petition alleges that Tareen owns offshore companies in the name of his children, shared gifts worth over Rs1.6 billion among family members, and is involved in insider trading in the shares of United Sugar Mills Limited in 2005.
The three-member bench is headed by Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar and comprises Justice Umar Ata Bandial and Justice Faisal Arab.
Tareen was elected member of the National Assembly from NA-154, Lodhran in the 2013 General Elections.
