A division bench of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) conducted hearing into appeals filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday.
The NAB requested the court to extend jail term of Nawaz Sharif in Al-Azizia reference from seven years and also challenged acquittal of the former prime minister in the Flagship Investments reference.
A two-member bench comprising Justice Amir Farooq and Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kiani heard the case. Khawaja Harris appeared before the court on behalf of the former prime minister.
During the proceedings, the court asked Harris if he would receive a notice issued by the court on NAB appeals. He responded that he could comment after going through the notice. The hearing was later adjourned for three weeks.
