Judiciary Issues
In 2000, three main cases were filed against the Sharif family. Nine members: Muhammad Sharif, wife of Muhammad Sharif, Nawaz Sharif, Shahbaz Sharif, Abbas Sharif, Hussain Nawaz, Hamza Shahbaz, Shamim Akhtar, wife of Abbas Sharif (Sabiha Abbas) and Maryam Nawaz, were named in the Hudaibiya paper mills case.

In December 2000, 18 members of the family were exiled to Saudi Arabia, after a deal with the government of Pervez Musharraf.

Famous quotes containing the words judiciary and/or issues:
“The judiciary has fallen to a very low state in this country. I think your part of the country has suffered especially. The federal judges of the South are a disgrace to any country, and I’ll be damned if I put any man on the bench of whose character and ability there is the least doubt.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“The hard truth is that what may be acceptable in elite culture may not be acceptable in mass culture, that tastes which pose only innocent ethical issues as the property of a minority become corrupting when they become more established. Taste is context, and the context has changed.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
