The Supreme Court’s special bench on the Panama case has ordered the registration of FIR against Security and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) chairman for tampering official records.
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had submitted to the court the report on its inquiry into the SECP’s alleged record tampering over the weekend.
The FIA had identified SECP Chairman Zafar Hijazi as the culprit behind changing official records of the Chaudhry Sugar Mills, owned by the Sharif family, to help their case.
The special bench, headed by Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan, gave the order for registration of FIR after the attorney general informed the court of the result of the FIA’s inquiry.
Commenting on the issue, Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed observed that the court will also have to see on whose orders the SECP chief was acting on.
