Even after the lapse of three months since the Sharif family’s trial began in an accountability court, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has yet to submit copies of the Panamagate Joint Investigation Team (JIT) report. Till now, the entire trial had been conducted with the help of unattested photocopies of the mentioned report. The requisition form submitted by the NAB showed that the bureau had requested the Supreme Court to hand over the JIT report and relevant documents. During cross-examination, the witness admitted that the NAB’s prosecution department had submitted a requisition form in the Supreme Court which was later returned. It is important to mention here that it was not mentioned on the form submitted by the NAB whether the request was granted to the bureau or rejected.
