ISLAMABAD: An accountability court on Thursday accepted former prime minister Nawaz Sharif's request for exemption from appearance for hearing of Al-Azizia corruption reference.
The court adjourned the hearing of the case till September 17 after Nawaz’s counsel, Khawaja Haris, cross questioned prosecution’s witness and JIT head Wajid Zia.
Accountability Court II Judge Arshad Malik was presiding over the case.
Haris submitted a request for exemption from appearance on Nawaz’s behalf which the court accepted. The former premier is currently in Lahore on parole for his wife, Begum Kusloom’s, funeral.
As the hearing went under way, Haris asked Zia whether volume 10 of the JIT report was sealed when it was submitted to the Supreme Court.
However, the Panamagate JIT head responded that it was not sealed.
After a brief hearing, the judge adjourned the case till September 17 (Monday).
