The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday sought details regarding the current status of deposed former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s eight-week bail in the Al-Azizia reference.
IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah and Justice Amir Farooq heard former premier’s petition regarding appointing a representative in the accountability court for the reference.
“Nawaz Sharif’s two appeals are pending in this court,” Justice Minallah said. “What is the status of the eight-week bail granted? Has it expired?” he asked. “As far as the decision of this court is concerned, it appears that the accused is an absconder,” Justice Minallah further observed. The IHC chief justice further asked that if the bail has lapsed then what is the status of the accused?
