UPDATE: This is not a suo moto notice, (The chief justice Saqiab Nisar is in UK on a visit) but her name is already in a proceeding by FIA, source: Journalist Siddique Jaantwitter@SdqJaan

Chief Justice of Pakistan, Mian Saqib Nisar has taken notice of the Dubai property of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s sister, Aleema Khan.



The chief justice, who is currently in London raising funds for building dams in Pakistan, was informally speaking to journalists when they drew his attention to the matter of Aleema Khan’s properties abroad.



Earlier in the day, talking to reporters in Islamabad outside an accountability court, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif demanded of a NAB investigation into the offshore assets of PM Imran Khan’s sister.

“How did Aleema Khan manage to make property (in Dubai) worth billions? Where did the money come from? She paid fine for hiding the assets, is it not an NRO?” Sharif questioned.

Last week, it was reported that PM Imran Khan’s sister has paid penalty – 25 per cent of the total estimated worth of her luxurious flat as tax while an additional 25 percent as fine –  on her undeclared posh Dubai property to avoid any legal consequences.

Aleema Khan owns a luxurious flat tucked near Burj Khalifa, the most expensive area in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), however, the total amount deposited is not yet clear.

Aleema’s offshore assets came to light a month after FIA submitted its initial report on foreign properties in October stating that 35 politicians and their associates own properties in Dubai.
