Re: HC Judge who dismissed corruption petition against Nawaz also in-linked with Panama, Fawad Ch
We are very quick to jump to conclusions about people we hear about for the first time even.
Unlike sharifs who have accusations of corruption, money laundering, and tax evasion; this judge has no such accusation. He has a stellar reputation amongst the law community (maybe Fawad Chaudhry is jealous).
His law firm and substantial wealth predates his days as judge. And there is perhaps absolutely nothing wrong with tax avoidance (as compared to tax evasion): at least not for non politicians.
I don't know why he dismissed the petition against Sharif. Maybe the case wasn't solid (courts can't go beyond the law as it sets precedence for future cases).
In any case Supreme Court should ask Sharifs to explain funds in their offshore accounts.
