Pakistan's SC on Friday finished hearing arguments on a scathing corruption report into the family wealth of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, and will begin deliberating whether to disqualify the premier. The court is expected to make a decision in a week or two.

Few expect the judges to drop the case, since the SC appointed the investigation panel that alleged the Sharif family's wealth was beyond its means. Sharif has denied wrongdoing and slammed the report by the JIT as biased and slanderous. He has also rejected opposition demands to stand down.
