ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday adjourned the hearing of appeals filed by PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif against Al-Azizia and Avenfield references till Wednesday (Nov 29).
Islamabad High Court Chief Justice Aamer Farooq heads the two-member bench.
In the previous hearing, the court had sought arguments from parties in the Al-Azizia and Avenfield references.
Nawaz's lawyer Amjad Parvez had pleaded the court to give his client four to six hours time for advancing arguments whereas the NAB had sought only half an hour for giving arguments.
The court had said it could hear the case on a day-to-day basis.
In July 2018, as the then-prime minister, Nawaz was handed 10 years in jail in the Avenfield properties corruption reference for owning assets beyond known income and one year for not cooperating with the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), both of which were to be served concurrently.
