Azizia Reference: Appeal against Nawaz Sharif’s sentence to be heard today

According to Baaghi TV, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s appeal against the sentence in Azizia Steel Mills reference will be heard today.

A division bench of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) will hear the appeal against the sentence in the Azizia Steel Mill reference. A medical report prepared by Dr. Fayyaz Shawal was also attached, in which it was said that Angina is still present. Angiography is necessary and going to a crowded place can be harmful.

The petition requested the court to withdraw the summons order on medical grounds and give an opportunity to appear in the hearing through a representative.

Dr. Fayyaz Shawal has written in his report that Nawaz Sharif will undergo angiography soon. Nawaz Sharif’s angiography is necessary before leaving for Pakistan. The angiography was delayed due to the corona epidemic. Nawaz Sharif’s health is in grave danger. Nawaz Sharif has been banned from traveling during Corona. Nawaz Sharif is already suffering from depression.

Nawaz Sharif’s other physician, Dr. David Lawrence’s September 4 report, was also attached to the petition. The report said that it was better for Nawaz Sharif to be treated in London as doctors there were aware of Nawaz Sharif’s medical history. Dr. David Lawrence wrote in the report that Nawaz Sharif needs more attention than any ordinary patient.

It may be recalled that the Islamabad High Court had on September 1 ordered the former Prime Minister to surrender before the court in the Azizia reference. The court also directed the federal government to submit all records related to Nawaz Sharif by September 10. Lawyer Khawaja Harris informed the court that the Punjab government had rejected Nawaz Sharif’s request for extension of bail and now he is not on bail. Nawaz Sharif will have to present himself before the court. He said that Nawaz Sharif could also challenge the decision of the Punjab government.

Justice Amir Farooq had remarked that the Lahore High Court could not supersede the bail decision of the Islamabad High Court. The Lahore High Court had to decide within the limits of the decision of the Islamabad High Court to suspend the sentence. Justice Amir Farooq remarked that the court was not yet declaring Nawaz Sharif a fugitive as we are giving Nawaz Sharif a chance to surrender. If Nawaz Sharif does not appear before the next hearing, he will start the process of declaring him a fugitive.
