Supreme Court publishes full verdict in Arshad Malik video scandal case

A three-member bench of the apex court comprising Chief Justice Asif Saeed Khosa, Justice Mazhar Alam Khan Miankhel and Justice Qazi Muhammad Amin Ahmed on Friday announced verdict on a set of petitions filed in the Supreme Court regarding video scandal involving former accountability court judge Arshad Malik ÔÇô who had convicted deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif in the Al-Azizia corruption reference.

In a press conference in July, Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leader Maryam Nawaz had shared a video containing an alleged confession by the judge that he was ÔÇÿpressurisedÔÇÖ and ÔÇÿblackmailedÔÇÖ to give a decision against the former premier.

It is pertinent to note that Malik denied the allegations in a letter to the chief justice of the Islamabad High Court.
