As earlier, an accountability court had summoned former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his children Maryam, Hussain and Hassan Nawaz, son-in-law Captain (Retd) Mohammad Safdar and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar on Tuesday to appear before the accountability court in connection with three references, filed on the directions of the Supreme Court.
It is to mention here that none of the respondents appeared before the accountability court. PML-N leader Asif Kirmani, who appeared on the Sharifs' behalf, said that the family was not present as they had all gone to be with Kulsoom Nawaz who is being treated in UK
Kirmani also told the court that Kulsoom is scheduled to undergo another surgery in the next couple of days, therefore an exact date for the family's return cannot be ascertained.
While the court then issued another summons for Sharif and the others to appear on September 26.
