ISLAMABAD: The accountability court on Thursday dismissed applications of Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz seeking exemption from appearance in the trial proceedings .
The former prime minister and his daughter had through their counsel sought exemption for a week from March 26 contending that they have to leave for London where Begum Kulsoom Nawaz has been undergoing treatment for cancer.
Medical report of Begum Kulsoom Nawaz was also attached with the application.
Khawaja Haris, counsel for Nawaz Sharif,told the court that Kulsoom Nawaz was to undergo chemotherapy and doctors in London have called her husband.
The application was rejected after National Accountability Bureau (NAB) prosecutor Afzal Qureshi vehementaly opposed it saying the accused should not allowed to leave the country as the trial was about to conclude.
