ISLAMABAD: An accountability court Thursday rejected the NAB's request to record Nawaz Sharif's statement under Section 342 of NAB Ordinance in Al-Azizia reference.
However, Accountability Court-II Judge Arshad Malik summoned joint investigation team (JIT) head Wajid Zia on Friday in Flagship reference.
As the hearing began, the defence counsel, Khawaja Haris, submitted a request in the court, seeking one-day exemption from hearing for his client, which was accepted.
During the hearing, the NAB prosecutor requested the court to record Nawaz's statement in the Al Azizia reference prior to summoning Wajid in the Flagship reference.
However, Haris opposed the request and contended that it was their stance from the day first that they wanted judgment in the two references together. It was decided earlier that first the statement of JIT head would be recorded in the Flagship reference, he argued.
