ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Tuesday directed the Accountability Court-II to record former prime minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif’s objections to the alleged changes in prosecution witness Wajid Zia’s statement.

The court is hearing Al-Azizia and Hill Metal Establishment references against the deposed prime minister’s family.

During the hearing, Justice Athar Minallah remarked that the court will ensure free and fair trial in the two references.

Justice Minallah remarked, “The NAB should show grace because this is an extraordinary case. In future, it is better to solve these small issues there”.

He further remarked, “Any court cannot change or alter the statement in record in the name of correction. As per law, questions and answers should be recorded as it is.”
