ISLAMABAD (92 News) – PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz have left Muree for appearing before Islamabad High Court (IHC) today to attend a hearing of the Avenfield review petition.
The IHC will conduct hearing on appeal filed by former premier Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam and his son-in-law captain (rtd) Safdar against their conviction in the Avenfield reference.
The division bench comprising Justice Amer Farooq and Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani will also hear the appeals of Maryam Nawaz and retired Captain Mohammad Safdar in the Avenfield reference.
Besides, NAB’s appeals, including one seeking an increase in the PML-N supreme leader’s sentence in the Al-Azizia case from seven years to 14 years and the other against his acquittal in the Flagship reference, will also be heard.
The PML-N workers are raising slogans in favour of their party leaders. On the appearance of Maryam Nawaz in court, more than hundreds police personnel have been deployed to resist any untoward situation. However, the Rangers personnel were also assigned duty inside the court building.
The area around the court will be sealed during the appearance of Maryam Nawaz and Captain (rtd) Safdar. The entry of non-relevant persons, including PML-N workers and supporters, will not be allowed inside the courtroom. The party workers will be kept away from the IHC building.
The Avenfield review petition is expected to be heard at 11:30am.
Nawaz Sharif had sought exemption from attending the hearing, while Maryam and Safdar had filed a request for adjournment. All three — Nawaz, Maryam and Safdar — are out on bail in the case.
Earlier in July 2018, Nawaz had been sentenced to a total of 11 years in prison and slapped with an £8 million fine (Rs1.3 billion) in the Avenfield properties reference while Maryam was sentenced to eight years with a £2 million fine (Rs335 million).
The Avenfield properties reference was one of three filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) the preceding year in light of the Supreme Court’s verdict against Nawaz in the Panama Papers case. The reference pertained to the ownership of the Sharif family’s apartments at Avenfield House, London.
