accused/petitioner has regularly submitted the income tax return

Previously the prosecution intentionally has not collected the
requisite evidence about the known sources of income of the
petitioner/accused in order to bring the case of the
accused/petitioner within the mischief of the offences such as
corruption and corrupt practices, kickbacks commission, misuse or
abuse of public office for personal gains. That the respondent
bureau made an admission before the full bench of Hon'ble Lahore
High Court, Lahore in the proceedings of post arrest bail of the

14, Arguments heard. Record perused.
15, Perusal of the record shows that main allegations against
the principal accused/petitioner Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif is
that of corruption and corrupt practices. That the known assets of
the accused/petitioner Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif and his co-
accused are beyond means. The main offences of the charge is u/s

Later on the august Supreme Court of Pakistan in ati

law “PLD 2017 SC 265’ titled as “Imran Ahmad Khan Niazi Vs. Mian
Muhammad Nawaz Sharif and Nine others” have held as under:-
“AS far as the issue regarding respondent No.6 namely
Mariam Safdar allegedly being a ‘dependent’ of her
father namely Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif is
concerned I have found that the material produced

before us sufficiently established that respondent NO.6
was a married lady having grown up children, she was a
part of a joint family living in different houses situated in
the same compound, she contributed towards some of
the expenses incurred by the joint family, ubmitted
he
her independent tax returns, she owned sizeable and
Valuable property in her own name, she was capable of
surviving on her own and, thus, she could not be treated
or treated as a ‘dependent’ of her father merely because
she periodically received gifts from her father and
brothers. In this view of the matter nothing turned on
respondent No.1 nor mentioning respondent No.6 as his
dependent in the nomination papers filed by him for
election to NA-120 before the generat elections held in
the country in the year 2013.”
19, The august Supreme Court of Pakistan in a case law "PLO
2021 Supreme Court 1” titled as "Justice Qazi Faez Isa and others
Vs. The President of Pakistan and others” uphold the principle laid
down in a case law titled as “Imran Khan Vs. Nawaz Sharif and
others” and further held that “the spouse of the Petitioner Judge
was not his dependent in the year 2013.”

Another question is of benamidar, this court has to
21 i
decide whether the co-accused persons owned properties as
benamidar or not? In this regard, not only the Hon’ble Superior
Courts have explained the word "benamidar” but also the National
Accountability Ordinance, 1999 (XVIII of 1999) (Incorporated
National Accountability (1 & 2 Amendment) Act, 2022 in Section
5 the definition of the word “benamidar” has been defined as
under:~ |
“Benamidar” means a person who ostensibly holds any
Property of an accused on his behalf for the benefit and
enjoyment of the accused.
Explanation.- A property shall only be held as a Benami
property when the accused has paid the consideration of
the property, and holds title documents and possession
of the property with the intention and object of executing
@ Benami transaction.” |
22 All the necessary four ingredients have been mentioned
in the explanation of benamidar in above referred section.
Moreover, the Hon'ble Lahore High Court, Lahore in a case titled as
"Ghulam Sarwar Khan Lalwani Vs. The State” |(2016
P.Cr.L.J. 1343) have held as under:- ae
“In order to prove the nature of transaction as benami

and (4) Intention and object of Benami transaction”.
23. That in the cas
e in hand the accused/petitioner Mian
Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif remained in physical custody of the NAB
authorities for a considerable period but the NAB authorities have
not got recovered any titled documents from his possession of the
impugned properties, which were in the name of his co-accused.
That the prosecution has not brought any evidence on the pages of
the reference that the consideration amount of such properties wes
paid by the principal accused. Moreover, the properties of the co-
accused were not found in possession of the accused/petitioner
Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif, That in the same way the
evidence collected by the prosecution about the intention as well as
motive of the benami transactions is flimsy one. That the 1.0 in
supplementary investigation report, as discussed above, has
concluded that the alleged assets acquired by the accused persons
could not be treated as benami and could not be linked with
corruption and corrupt practices. No doubt the findings of the 1.0
are not binding upon the courts but at the same time the findings of
the 1.0 cannot be brushed aside because the 1.0 has to collect the
incriminating material against the accused persons and when it is
» qj) lacking on the pages of the reference, then the version of the
~ f| defence gets direct support from the findings of the 1.0. So, in this
i
situation, the incriminating evidence about benamidari is flimsy one.

the prosecution was duty bound to collect un-shaky evide

offence, the prosecution has to prove that accused was a f
office holder, secondly extent and nature of resources
accused, thirdly known sources of accused and fourthly properties in
possession of accused disproportionate to his known sources.
25. No doubt in the case, in hand, Mian Muhammad Shahbaz

prosecution was duty bound to collect the evidence whether the
accused/petitioner has accumulated the relevant assets) and
pecuniary resources by misusing his authority? The prosecution was

accused/petitioner. That supplementary investigation _feport

evidence, available on record, which is in the form of FBR
declarations for the period from 2009 to 2018, wherein, income has
been declared under the heads of “Other Income” & ‘Business
Income’. Such declarations have been made in FBR on regular year
to year basis. Further 1.0 found that these funds of Rs.144.67[ any 1/088
Million could not be linked with corruption and corrupt practices,
commission/kickbacks or any appropriate Government. The
agriculture income of the accused/petitioner Mian Muhammad
Shahbaz Sharif as per supplementary reference from 2008 to 2018
is shown as Rs.78,686,995/-. His income from salary from 2009 to
2018 is Rs.14.26 Million, That as per report the accused/petitioner
i Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif has declared his total assets of
| 25,189.65 Million, That NAB authorities while para wise replying
the application under section 265-K Cr.P.C submitted that
accused/petitioner Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif was generating
considerable revenue from tunnel farming which correlates with
agricultural income as declared in FBR. The prosecution has also
mentioned that accused/petitioner Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif
purchased four apartments during the year 2005 to 2010 in United
Kingdom with banking/personal_ loans and gifts from his
acquaintances/relatives and found justified. That in the same way,
the NAB authorities have submitted that the accused Mrs. Nusrat
Shahbaz Sharif, Muhammad Hamza Shahbaz Sharif and Mrs. Javeria

during cross examination deposed that “no legal action was eel
taken against Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif accused regarding
evasion of tax or concealment of assets,” |
27. Learned defence counsel vehemently argued that the
income and the assets shown in the Income Tax Returns has not
been challenged by the prosecution till today and further argued
that income tax returns have presumption of truth because the
accused/petitioner have not prepared these documents in
|
anticipation in order to save his skin in the future.
28. That in the same way accused/petitioner | Mian
Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif has never remained sponsor, member,
shareholder, Director or Officer of any company as according {to the
evidence of Muhammad Moen, Deputy Registrar SECP Islamabad
(PW-14), Sabohi Israr, Additional Joint Registrar SECP Lahore (Pw-
15), Farwa Hassan Management Support SECP Lahore (PW-16),
Kashif Islam Mian, Additional Joint Registrar SECP Multan (PwW-17),
Tahir Saif-ud-Din, Assistant Registrar, SECP, Lahore (PW-18 and
Salman Saeed, Additional Joint Registrar, SECP, Lahore (PW-19). A
question arises when accused/petitioner Mian Muhammad Shahbaz
Sharif has no nexus with the alleged companies, then how he mi
corruption through the garb of such companies.
29, That in a bail petition of the accused/petitioner Mian
Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif, the Hon’ble Lahore High Court, Lahore
(2021 P. Cr. L.J. 1485), NAB authorities categorically admitted
before the Hon'ble Lahore High Court, Lahore that“petitioner is not alleged to have received any kickbacks
or any such ill-gotten money in return to a favour
extended to someone to build up the assets in the name
of his family.”
It is also settled by now by the Hon’ble Superior Courts
that admitted facts need not to prove.
30, This contention of learned defence counsel was not
contradicted by the prosecution that most of the accused/petitioners
were not public office holders. When the prosecution in the shape of
supplementary investigation report has admitted that the
allegations of corruption and corrupt practices, etc. against the
accused/petitioners are not proved then there remains a little
chance of the conviction of the accused persons in the light of
collected as well as recorded evidence by the prosecution.
31. That as a matter of allegations of money laundering
against the accused/petitioners is concerned, Anti Money
Laundering Act was promulgated in the year 2010. Learned defence
counsel argued that most of the TTs, in the name of
accused/petitioner. Hamza Shahbaz Sharif are before the
promulgation of this Act and he was not holding public office before
the year 2008. Learned Special Prosecutor has not controverted this
contention of learned defence counsel on this score. As per

can be no offence of money laundering. While submitting the
