Attorney General Ashtar Ausaf Ali said on Friday that there is no law according to which the prime minister can file an appeal against today decision of the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court of Pakistan ordered on Friday to disqualify Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar and ordered for a case to be pursued against them in an accountability court.
The AG said Nawaz Sharif may consider filing a review request with the bench.
Addressing the media outside the court, Ali said the combined decision of the bench was according to his expectations.
"All three judges of the implementation bench gave separate reasons for their decision," he added.
According to the attorney general, the prime minister’s iqama [work permit] was the reason for his disqualification.
Announcing their verdict in the Panama Papers case, all five judges ruled to send a reference against the premier, his three children and others to an accountability court.
The court ordered the National Accountability Bureau to file a reference against the accused in an accountability court in six weeks and directed for the trial to be wrapped up within six months.
The court also directed the Election Commission of Pakistan to issue a notification declaring the prime minister's disqualification.
