ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) on Monday observed that there was no proof to establish Justice Qazi Faez Isa’s wife and children as his dependents. Reading out the contents of the reference, Justice Isa’s counsel, Muneer A Malik, said that the government did not allege that these are benami properties. Justice Yahya Afridi asked whether Justice Isa was issued any notice by the Federal Board of Revenue for not declaring three foreign properties. To which, Justice Shah replied that it is not yet established how the complainant got the addresses of the foreign properties of the SC judge. Malik claimed that the information pertaining to the foreign properties was gathered through surveillance, but Justice Muneeb Akhtar said that there was insufficient evidence to establish this claim.
