LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz president Shehbaz Sharif here on Saturday did not appear before the accountability court in Ashiana Iqbal Housing scam case.
Shehbaz Sharif's counsel filed a plea in the accountability court on behalf of his client to grant him exemption from court appearance today.
Shehbaz Sharif's counsel told the court that the PML-N leader was not well due to backache and his doctor had advised him to take rest.
The court granted him exemption from appearing on medical grounds.
However, co-accused Fawad Hassan Fawad and Ahad Cheema were presented before the court. The court later adjourned the hearing of the case till July 24.—APP
