Justice Khosa asked the deputy attorney general present in court.</p><p class="">"Nowhere in the judgement have we mentioned The Godfather," he said while adding that the reference to the Sicilian Mafia was made because of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180224155800/https://www.dawn.com/news/1336533">Nihal Hashmi's open threats to the judiciary</a>.</p><p class="">Justice Khosa's remarks come in the wake of Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz's <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180224155800/https://www.dawn.com/news/1389577">repeated onslaught against the apex court judges</a> for allegedly using terms like 'Sicilian Mafia and The Godfather' to describe them — a mantra that has been <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180224155800/https://www.dawn.com/news/1390708/pml-n-continues-targeting-judiciary-in-na">reiterated by other PML-N members as well</a>. </p><p class="">"Things that the SC has not said should not be associated to it," the senior judge said while adding that factually incorrect reporting is unfair.</p><p class="">It should be noted that the first judgment in the case was issued last year on April 21 and was split 3:2 among the five-judge bench, with two <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180224155800/https://www.dawn.com/news/1328158">dissenting notes</a> from Justice Khosa and Justice Gulzar Ahmed.

It is believed that this epigraph was inspired by a sentence that was written by Honoré de Balzac [French novelist and playwright]… as follows:</p><p class="">(The secret of a great success for which you are at a loss to account is a crime that has never been found out, because it was properly executed)</p><p class="">It is ironical and a sheer coincidence that the present case revolves around that very sentence attributed to Balzac...”</p><p class="">Justice Khosa later said in the judgement: "I may, therefore, be justified in raising an adverse inference in the matter. The fortune amassed by respondent No. 1 is indeed huge and no plausible or satisfactory explanation has been advanced in that regard. Honoré de Balzac may after all be right when he had said that behind every great fortune for which one is at a loss to account there is a crime."</p><p class="">"In the above mentioned sorry and unfortunate state of affairs a conclusion has appeared to me to be unavoidable and inescapable that in the matter of explaining the wealth and assets respondent No. 1 has not been honest to the nation, to the nation’s representatives in the National Assembly and even to this Court."</p><p class="">The <a

The blindfold represents impartiality, the ideal that justice should be applied without regard to wealth, power, or other status. Lady Justice is most often also depicted with a set of scales typically suspended from her left hand, upon which she measures the strengths of a case's support and opposition. The scales represent the weighing of evidence and are balanced to portray that the evidence should stand on its own. It is sad that contrary to the aforementioned, honorable SC judge has to come out at this belated stage to say something which was not part of the final majority judgement in the case. Having politicized this epic judgment, NS and his daughter are trying to dilute its effectiveness as a future reference in similar corruption cases, to the advantage of those corrupt and powerful spared so far, who will be brought to account for their corrupt practices, to the detriment of the entire nation.</p> </div> <div class=""> <input type="button" value="Reply" data-name="Amjad Durrani Engineer USA" class="button button--short mr-2 comment__reply"/> <div class="button button--social" title="Recommend this comment">  <span class="button__label votejs__cast" data-vote-key="1390810/up-5736615">Recommend</span> <span class="button__count votejs__count" data-vote-key="1390810/up-5736615">0</span>  </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="comment pb-4 mb-4 border--bottom" id="5736639" data-id="23"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-11"> <div class="comment__author float-left">Atique</div> <div class="timeago comment__date" title="2018-02-21T17:43:17+05:00"><span class="timestamp--time timeago" title="2018-02-21T17:43:17+05:00">Feb 21, 2018 05:43pm</span></div> <div class="comment__body mt-2 size-four clearfix"><p>Nawaz sharif has not been able to provide satisfactory money trail for his assets, which he amassed while being in power.

To date the Sharif family has failed to provide the courts the means or the money trail through which they were able to amass wealth and owned assets worth billions of dollars in the country and abroad.</p> <p>Taking note of this situation, the Supreme Court has entrusted NAB to conduct a thorough investigation of the matter, so that the Sharif family is punished according to the extent of their crime. Meanwhile Nawaz Sharif has been disqualified from holding public office for not declaring Inqama and the salary associated with it, which too is illegal. This illegality is just one of many illegal and corrupt practices the Nawaz Sharif and his family is guilty of, which NAB and other courts are unearthing every day. </p> <p>You should wait till NAB delivers its judgment before commenting on Nawaz Sharif innocence.</p> </div> <div class=""> <input type="button" value="Reply" data-name="Jamil " class="button button--short mr-2 comment__reply"/> <div class="button button--social" title="Recommend this comment">  <span class="button__label votejs__cast" data-vote-key="1390810/up-5736643">Recommend</span> <span class="button__count votejs__count" data-vote-key="1390810/up-5736643">0</span>  </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="comment pb-4 mb-4 border--bottom" id="5736688" data-id="25"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-11"> <div class="comment__author float-left">BAXAR</div> <div class="timeago comment__date" title="2018-02-21T18:03:49+05:00"><span class="timestamp--time timeago" title="2018-02-21T18:03:49+05:00">Feb 21, 2018 06:03pm</span></div> <div class="comment__body mt-2 size-four clearfix"><p>@Ahmed "Judges are there to interpret constitution to the letter and not to copy a dialogue from a movie" Honore de Balzac is not a movie, he's one of the greatest figures of literature.
