ISLAMABAD: The accountability court on Tuesday reserved its verdict in the Avenfield case, which will be announced on July 6.
The Sharif family are facing three corruption cases in the accountability court after the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) filed references against them in light of the Supreme Court’s verdict in the Panama Papers case last year.
In today’s hearing, Maryam Nawaz and Captain (retd) Safdar’s counsel presented his final arguments.
The court had ordered the counsel to conclude his argument on July 2. However, after his failure to do so, the hearing was adjourned until today.
The court conducted 107 hearings over the past nine and a half months before reserving its verdict.
It is important to note that no witness appeared before the court on behalf of the defence.
The court had already declared Hassan Nawaz and Hussain Nawaz ‘absconders’ in the case.
Nawaz’s counsel Khawaja Haris had also concluded his final arguments in the case last week.
Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz, who are in London to attend ailing Begum Kulsoom Nawaz, have got two-day exemption from proceedings.
However, according to reports, they have decided to come back to Pakistan in coming few days.
