Ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday left an accountability court, where he had been summoned in connection with three graft cases prepared by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) against him and his family, without being formally charged with a crime. During the hearing, his lawyer argued that all of the accused in the case must be present in court before they could be indicted in the cases.
The accused ” Nawaz; his children Hussain, Hassan, and Maryam; and son-in-law Mohammad Safdar ” are now expected to appear on October 9 to be formally indicted.
The court has issued non-bailable arrest warrants for the men and a bailable warrant for Maryam, likely keeping in mind that she may need to stay with her mother in London.
While speaking to the media, PML-N lawyer Khawaja Haris explained that:"Nawaz Sharif's children have no problem with appearing in court; they have been unable to do so as their mother is ill and they are all in London."
