The Supreme Court is set to take up a petition related to the Panama Papers, five years after it was originally filed.

The case was originally filed in 2017 by Jamat-e-Islami Chief Siraj ul Haq and asked for investigation into the 436 Pakistani people mentioned in the Panama Papers.

The case will be heard by two-member bench of Justice Sardar Tariq Masood and Justice Aminuddin Khan from June 9.

Panama Papers were a collection of leaked documents posted online by the International Consortium for Investigative Journalism in 2016. The papers included over 11 million documents from a Panama offshore company named Mossack Foseca and showed how hundreds of people all over the world had parked their money in offshore companies to avoid taxation.

In Pakistan, outrage had grown after the Sharif family was named in connection with properties in London whose ownership was disguised under offshore accounts. Nawaz Sharif, who was prime minister at the time, had been caught in political storm that eventually ended with his disqualification from office.

However, members of the Sharif family were not the only people from Pakistan nominated in the papers. The list inlcuded over 400 people and case was file by JI to put all of them through the same level of scrutiny as Nawaz Sharif.
