Accountability court suspends arrest warrants of Hasan, Hussain Nawaz
2024-03-08
[GEO.TV] An accountability court on Thursday suspended the arrest warrants of Hasan Nawaz and Hussain Nawaz — sons of Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif
...served two three non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf, then by the courts...
— in the al-Azizia, Flagship and Avenfield cases.

The decision was announced by accountability court judge Nasir Javed Rana in a verdict he reserved earlier today.

The warrants have been suspended till March 14, as per the verdict.

The warrants of the brothers were issued seven years ago when the court had declared them absconders.

In today's hearing, both brothers were represented in the case by their lawyer Qazi Misbah, while National Accountability Bureau (NAB) prosecutors Sardar Muzaffar, Usman Masood and Sohail Arif also appeared in the court.

The plea seeking suspension of the warrants were filed as both brothers are planning to return to Pakistain on March 12.

Their lawyer, Misbah, revealed the development during the hearing of the Toshakhana reference filed against Nawaz, Pakistain Peoples Party's (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Ten Percent Zardari
...former president of Pakistain, husband of the late Benazir Bhutto, who has been singularly lacking in curiosity about who done her in...
and former prime minister Yusuf Raza Gilani
... Pakistain's former prime minister, whose occasional feats of mental gymnastics can be awe-inspiring ...
wherein the politicians are accused of having kept various vehicles in violation of the Toshakhana rules.

Misbah, while presenting his arguments, said that both brothers were declared absconders in the case, while perpetual warrants were also issued against them.

He told the court that all the other accused were acquitted in these three references. The lawyer added that both Hasan and Hussain want to return to Pakistain this month and request the court to suspend their perpetual warrants.

"There were five accused in the Avenfield [reference], three were convicted by the accountability court. Islamabad High Court acquitted three accused," he maintained.
