ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s lawyer Makhdoom Ali Khan in Panama Papers case goes to leave after the Chief Justice of Pakistan approved his leave application, ARY News reported.

Makhdoom Ali Khan had requested the apex court to grant him leave amid hearing of the high profile Panama Leaks case from February 13 to February 24 owing to his personal commitments.

Chief Justice of Pakistan Mr. Justice Saqib Nisar has granted leave to the counsel.

A five member bench of the apex court was hearing Panama Leaks case on daily basis. The case, however, presently adjourned due to the unavailability of a member of the bench-Justice Azmat Saeed Shaikh- due to the health issues. The hearing of the case is now subject to the availability of the learned member of the bench.

The hearing was expected to resume on Monday (yesterday) but now it is likely to be held on February 13.
