Regarding the petitions of Nawaz Sharif’s sons, who are requesting the stay of arrest warrants, the accountability court has deferred its decision.
The accountability court’s Judge Nasir Javed Rana heard the appeals of arrest warrants submitted by Hassan and Hussain Nawaz.
Counsel Qazi Misbhaul Hassan and Advocate Rana Irfan stood before the court during the hearing. Prosecutor Sohail Arif and Deputy Prosecutor General Sardar Muzaffar from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) were also in attendance.
According to Qazi Misbhaul Hassan, the court in the reference has discharged all other accused parties, and Hassan and Hussain Nawaz are scheduled to appear before the court on March 12. Additionally, the attorney requested that the arrest warrants for Hassan and Hussain Nawaz be permanently revoked.
However, NAB prosecutor Sohail Arif said that although the arrest warrants have been revoked, the accused still needs to appear in court. He went on to say that the accused ought to be given the opportunity to appear in court.
The court postponed making a decision on the pleas for the suspension of arrest warrants after hearing the reasons made by each party.
Notably, Hassan and Hussain Nawaz have entered pleas in opposition to Avenfield, Al Azizia, and Flagship, among other NAB referrals.
Additionally, the accused pair has petitioned the court to have their arrest warrants suspended. The accountability court proclaimed Hassan and Hussain Nawaz to be absconders seven years ago.
