IHC summons Nawaz Sharif via newspaper ads

ISLAMABAD: (HRNW) The Islamabad High Court (IHC) in the hearing on the non-bailable arrest warrant for Nawaz Sharif has ruled on Wednesday that public notices be placed and newspaper advertisements be issued to summon him in the next hearing.

It noted that in the hearing today that if the suspect does not turn up in the court within 30 days of ads and public notices, the court will declare him an absconder.

The hearing today was scheduled after the Pakistan High Commission in London submitted their statement in the court over the execution of non-bailable arrest warrants for former prime minister Sharif convicted in the corruption case.

The IHC adjourned its hearing and slated the next court session on the case 30 days after the ads and notices have been issued.

Court has directed the federal government to submit in the court the receipt within two days of UK newspaper ads calling upon Sharif to appear before the court.
