In Friday's hearing, Jafri was given more time to prepare arguments.
The petitioner told the court that the prime minister's family originally owned a two bedroom house in Amritsar but now they have now assets worth more than $40 billion.
"PM Nawaz should be disqualified not only from contesting elections but also from applying for elections," Jafri argued.
"The court is aware of the severity of the matter but you should come up with prepared arguments," Justice Farrukh Irfan remarked.
