ISLAMABAD – Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Mian Saqib Nisar remarked on Tuesday that Pakistan Peoples Party leader, Sharjeel Inam Memon never denied the presence of alcohol bottles in his room and merely denied their ownership.
Hearing a case at the Supreme Court building in Islamabad, the top judge observed that he knew fully under whose supervision samples were changed of alcohol bottles found in the room declared as sub-jail for the PPP leader.
During the hearing, Sindh chief secretary also added weight to the suspicion and noted that a report on the contents of the bottles seemed ‘suspicious’.

“It seems that the report has been tampered with,” the Sindh chief secretary informed the bench while adding that CCTV footage was available of the hospital and Memon’s room in the Ziaud Din Hospital.
“We will submit a report after looking into the matter,” he said.
To this, Justice Nisar clarified that he had not called for an examination of the contents of the bottles found from Memon’s room.

‘I saw no bottle of honey in the former Sindh information minister’s room,’ the top judge observed in clear worded remarks.
The chief justice observed that in Sindh, all politicians fall ill and get shifted from the jail to a hospital.
In another case, the CJP referred to his surprise visit to the private hospital housing Memon and remarked that there had been a hue and cry over his visit.

“Just go and visit that room it is like a presidential suite,” he added.
Justice Nisar further clarified that he had not intended to seize alcohol and if he wanted to conduct an inquiry, he would have sent the samples for testing himself and would have gotten the suspects arrested then.
A day earlier, the bloodstream reports of PPP leader were found negative with alcohol, days after a couple of bottles apparently designed for alcohol were found in his room.
