The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Friday disqualified Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from his post after an investigative panel alleged his family’s wealth was far above their earnings in a scathing corruption report, Express Tribune reported.
The apex court has ordered NAB to complete investigation in Panamagate case within six weeks.
SC judges arrived in court room 1 after a brief consultation in the chambers, while a large number of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz workers converged outside the SC.
The legal proceedings against Sharif have captivated the country, where politicians are seldom subjected to the kind of scrutiny undergone by the premier.
