Islamabad, Sept 15 (IBNS): In a major order, the Supreme Court on Friday dismissed the review petition filed by deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif in connection with the Panama Papers case.

The review petition was filed in connection with the apex court's judgement in the case.

"A five-judge SC bench, headed by Justice Asif Saeed Khosa, had taken up the petitions seeking review of the court’s July 28 judgement which disqualified Nawaz Sharif and ordered the filing of corruption references against Sharif, his children — Hussain, Hassan and Maryam Nawaz — son-in-law retired Captain Mohammad Safdar, and incumbent Finance Minister Ishaq Dar," Dawn News reported.

Justice Khosa was quoted as saying by the newspaper: "For reasons to be recorded later, all these review petitions are dismissed."

Following the dismissal of the petition, former PM  Sharif's disqualification as a member of the parliament remains valid.
