Al-Azizia reference: Nawaz seeks IHC permission to submit more documents

ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday filed a plea with the Islamabad High Court seeking permission to submit additional documents in his bail petition on medical grounds in Al-Azizia reference.

Nawaz’s counsel Khawaja Haris submitted the plea. In the petition, Nawaz sought court’s permission to submit additional documents about his health condition. The petition states that superintendent Lahore Jail had submitted nine different documents to the court but some important documents were still missing.

“Recommendations of medical board are not submitted to the court,” the petition said. Nawaz has requested the IHC to allow submission of a report of a three-member special medical board of the Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) and another report of the four-member team of doctors of Jinnah Hospital Lahore. The Islamabad High Court will hear his plea for bail on medical grounds Wednesday (today).
