ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday granted one day exemption to former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in his plea against Al-Azizia reference verdict and adjourned the hearing for two weeks.
Division bench of Islamabad High Court comprising Justice Aamir Farooq and Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kiyani took up Nawaz plea against the verdict of accountability court in Al-Azizia reference.
During hearing the NAB additional prosecutor submitted reply in Nawaz Sharif's plea for adding five more witnesses in which he opposed by disclosing that such witnesses were irrelevant and don't have any concern with such case.
He added that the case was in appeal where no need of such witnesses was necessary as such witnesses were forensic experts that had no concern with such matter. To this Nawaz counsel argued for testimony of such witnesses as it was the fundamental right of his client to avail all options to defend him. Hearing the arguments the court adjourned the hearing for two weeks and directed the both parties to conclude their arguments in next hearing.
