ISLAMABAD, Sep 12 (INP) The Supreme Court decided on Tuesday that a five-judge bench will be formed to hear the review petitions of Nawaz Sharif, his children, son-in-law and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar against the July 28 Panama Papers case verdict. A three-member bench of the apex court, headed by Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan and comprising Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed and Justice Ijazul Ehsan, was hearing a plea submitted by the former prime minister's children against the hearing of their review petition by a three-member bench instead of a five-judge bench.
