LAHORE: A local court Tuesday issued summons for Capt Safdar (retd), son-in-law of former premier Nawaz Sharif, and another person due to their absence from the proceedings of a case that accused them of scuffle with police during appearance of Maryam Nawaz at an accountability court. Judicial magistrate Hafiz Nafees Yousaf conducted the case proceedings at district courts here. A prosecutor argued before the court that the court had summoned Capt Safdar and Jehanzaib Awan for Tuesday; however, they failed to appear. He requested the court for summoning the accused again so that trial proceedings could move forward. At this, the court again issued summons for Capt Safdar and Jehanzaib Awan and adjourned further hearing till December 5. Islampura police had registered a case against Capt Safdar and 10 others over scuffle with the police during the appearance of Maryam Nawaz at an accountability court in 2019. A case had been registered under sections 353, 186, 147 and 149 of the PPC.
