The Islamabad High Court has allotted a number to separate applications filed by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif for a protective bail in the Avenfield and Al-Azizia references. His lawyers have requested for hearing the applications today.
The Registrar’s Office did not raise any objection to either of the applications.
In the application, Nawaz Sharif has requested for a protective bail for surrendering before the law. He has said that he intends to face the cases against him, so the authorities should be barred from arresting him to enable him to reach the court.
The application states that Nawaz Sharif will land in Islamabad on a special flight on October 21, asking for a protective bail to reach the court.
The lawyers requested to hear Nawaz’s application today. His legal team includes Amjad Pervaiz and Azam Nazeer Tarar. Nawaz Sharif has also requested to restore the appeals against him.
PML-N leader Ata Tarar submitted the appeals as a special representative of Nawaz Sharif. He also ensured the biometric verification as an attorney.
Earlier on Wednesday, in an apparent change of plan, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz supremo Nawaz Sharif is expected to land at Islamabad International Airport instead of Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport, as per legal sources in the party familiar with the development.
The former prime minister will likely land in Islamabad instead of Lahore and subsequently appear before the Islamabad High Court (IHC).
As per sources, consultations regarding Nawaz’s arrival in Islamabad are final.
“The appeals {in cases} are pending in IHC where Nawaz Sharif would surrender and plead suspension of sentence in IHC,” the legal team sources claimed.
