ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Friday submitted details in the Supreme Court related to the disqualification case filed against him by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Hanif Abbasi.

The PTI chief submitted documents detailing bank transactions in connection with his assets and accounts of his offshore company Niazi Services Ltd (NSL).

In a written response that accompanied the documents, Imran said he had mentioned the transfer of money from his account to ex-wife Jemima Khan in financial documents submitted before the Election Commission of Pakistan in 2003.

The reply maintained that the accounts of NSL clearly showed that the loan taken by Imran from Jemima had been repaid. Documents of the receipt of the amount by Jemima from the Anglo Irish Bank were also furnished.

The documents also showed that Jemima had transferred £79,000 as payment to Imran for the blueprint of the Bani Gala residence. According to the documents, the £79,000 was repaid to Jemima as part of the £562,000 amount.

There was nothing left in the NSL account which Imran could have shown in his assets declarations or tax returns, the reply states, adding that Imran was an MNA from 2002 to 2007 and in that time period he did not get a penny from the £99,000 nor was it a receivable.

By the time of 2013 general election, the NSL account was empty and thus nothing in it could be shown in the nomination papers.
