Panama case audio leak plea dropped

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday dismissed the petition seeking formation of commission regarding alleged audio leak of former chief justice Saqib Nisar in Panama case decision.

The court dismissed the petition on the ground of non-prosecution. When the case was called in the court, no one appeared on behalf of the petitioner. Justice Muhammad Asif dismissed the petition on the ground of non-adherence.

The alleged audio of former chief justice Saqib Nisar had surfaced in 2021. In the alleged audio, the former CJ was giving instructions regarding the Panama case decision. Former Sindh High Court Bar President Salahuddin had filed a petition to form a commission on the alleged audio.
