ISLAMABAD, Aug. 13 (TNS): In Al-Azizia and Flagship Investment references, the accountability court in Islamabad on Monday adjourned the hearing against Sharif family members till August 15.
Accountability court Judge Arshad Malik heard the Al-Azizia and Flagship Investment references and summoned the investigation officer of the cases at the next hearing.
The former premier appeared before the accountability court for the hearing. Nawaz was brought to court in an armoured vehicle and was taken back to Adiala jail after the hearing.
Earlier as Nawaz appeared before the court, gun shots were heard outside.
On August 7, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) transferred the two references to Accountability Court II.
A two-member bench of the IHC, comprising Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb, ordered the transfer of the cases on Nawaz’s plea.
Nawaz’s legal counsel had filed an appeal requesting the court to transfer the Al-Azizia and Flagship Investment references from the court of Accountability Judge-I Mohammad Bashir to another accountability court.
