In a detailed judgment, the apex court said that the deposed prime minister did not come clean and shied from providing the money trail for his properties abroad. The judges also observed that Maryam was the beneficial owner of London’s Avenfield apartments but she presented forged documents in an effort to fool the courts.
Soon after, Maryam took to Twitter and said that it was the first time she has witnessed the “seat of justice spewing venom”.
