ISLAMABAD: Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has submitted a tax record of Justice Qazi Faez Isa’s wife in the Supreme Court.
During the hearing, Justice Qazi Faez Isa’s lawyer Munir Malik submitted sealed documents in the Supreme court. He stated in the court that Justice Qazi has never associated his wife’s property with him. “It seems that the government has mistakenly come to SC instead of going to FBR for this case,” he added.
Moreover, Defence lawyer Farogh Naseem said that whatever mentioned in the reference is not our actual case. Earlier, the wife of Justice Qazi Faez Isa requested the court to let her testify her statement in SC via video-link which the court permitted the Justice’s wife.
In a previous hearing, she had bought her first property in London in 2004 and her passport was accepted for the purchase of property in the United Kingdom. She further told the court that her agricultural land, which she inherited from her father and does not belong to the husband, is in district Jacobabad.
She further added that the authorities know about her land as government-issued her a tax certificate after submission of the statement of assets.
Justice Faez’s wife asserted that her tax record was transferred from Karachi to Islamabad and the FBR failed to provide an answer when asked about the transfer. She also showed a record of her tax returns in the UK from 2016 to date.
