The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Thursday issued notice to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in Panama leaks case.
 
The Panama Papers surfaced in April following a massive leak of documents of Panama-based Mossack Fonseca company which reportedly deals with the offshore companies of world's rich individuals.

In September, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) issued notices to at least 450 people, including Sharif's family members, whose names surfaced in the Panama Papers leak for owning offshore companies.

Sharif's two sons and a daughter were mentioned as having offshore companies which operated their properties abroad.

The government has offered probe against all those mentioned in the leaks.
