NAB references: Nawaz Sharif challenges ‘separate indictments’ in IHC

Nawaz Sharif, through his representative Zafir Khan, has submitted three petitions in the high court challenging the accountability court’s October 19 decision to indict him in the Avenfield properties and Azizia Steel Mills reference.

He was indicted in the third and last Flagship Investment Ltd  reference on October 20.

The accountability court is hearing corruption references filed by the National Accountability Bureau against Nawaz and his family members, as well as Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, in light of the Supreme Court’s order in the Panama Papers case.

In his petition, Nawaz Sharif has pleaded the IHC to declare the October 19 decision illegal and order the accountability court to combine the three references against him into one.

He has also pleaded that there should be one trial on one charge instead of separate cases.
