ISLAMABAD: The representative of federal government on Tuesday has submitted a report on the implementation of arrest warrant of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo and former Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif in Islamabad High Court (IHC).

During the hearing of Al-Azizia reference, the federation counsel told that ex-PM’s warrant was received by his son Hassan Nawaz at his residence in London. The warrant was dispatched to Nawaz’s house by Pakistani High Commission in UK through a mail, he informed.

Previously, IHC had issued non-bailable arrest warrant against Nawaz Sharif for September 22 and rejected his plea seeking exemption from the hearing.

The court had also directed the concerned authorities to initiate proceedings to declare him as proclaimed offender. PML-N supremo’s petition to continue the case hearings through legal representative was also turned down by the IHC.

Nawaz Sharif files review petition against IHC order to surrender. Nawaz Sharif had requested the IHC to nullify its ruling and allow him to become a part of the court proceedings through his representative. Nawaz Sharif made the request on medical grounds. NNI
