Islamabad, June 14 (TNS): Quaid of PML-N Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday hired\u00a0a new legal\u00a0team to represent him in the ongoing corruption trial after Khawaja Haris and his team recused themselves from the case.<\/p>\n
The three-time premier hired Jahangir Jadoon, who has represented Nawaz in multiple cases\u00a0and also heads\u00a0the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz\u2019s (PML-N) legal wing. Maryam Nawaz and\u00a0husband Safdar\u2019s counsel Amjad Parvez was not present in court citing ill-health.<\/p>\n
The court set June 19 to present final arguments in the Avenfield reference case. Jadoon submitted the power of attorney in all three references, taking over from Haris. However,\u00a0Jadoon said Nawaz is\u00a0in touch with Haris and the former premier is trying to convince the lawyer to return to the case.<\/p>\n
As the hearing began, prosecutor Sardar Muzaffar Abbasi of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) voiced his concerns and reservations over Parvez\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n
He argued that Jadoon is well-versed\u00a0with the case and should present the arguments, replying to Abbasi, Jadoon said that he is only submitting Maryam and Nawaz\u2019s exemption plea for\u00a0Thursday\u2019s hearing.<\/p>\n
On June 10, Haris recused himself from representing the former premier in the corruption references filed by NAB against the Sharif family.<\/p>\n
