Islamabad, June 28 (TNS):  The accountability court hearing corruption references against the Sharif family granted a one-day exemption from appearance to deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif and daughter Maryam Nawaz on Thursday.

Hearing of Avenfield reference resumed in Islamabad on Thursday.

Amjad Parvez, counsel of Maryam Nawaz, has started his final arguments.

The defence counsel plans to present a new medical report along with another application seeking exemption before the court on Friday.

An application on behalf of Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz for exemption from personal appearance for seven days was submitted before the court.

The court, however, gave exemption for just one day.
