Islamabad (HRNW) The Islamabad High Court has decided to declare former prime minister Nawaz Sharif an absconder in the Avenfield and Al-Azizia Steel Mills cases.
The court said on Wednesday the PML-N founder, who is currently in London, has been given enough time and yet no one has been appearing in court on his behalf.
A short order on the proceedings will be issued later in the day.
Notices will be issued to those who took Nawaz’s guarantee when he was leaving Pakistan.
Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani remarked that the court also must review the conduct of former judge Arshad Malik who announced the Al-Azizia verdict against Nawaz.
He said the steps taken by the Lahore High Court will not affect the proceedings of this court. Malik had submitted his affidavit in court and it will be looked into.
The hearing has been adjourned till December 9.
