ISLAMABAD - The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Wednesday deferred the hearing in PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz’s appeals in the Avenfield Apartment reference as no proceedings could be held in this matter. The registrar office of the IHC had fixed the case before a two-mem­ber bench of IHC compris­ing Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani but later, it can­celled the cause list due to non-availability of Jus­tice Kayani. Previously, the court had granted exemp­tion from personal appear­ance to Maryam for one day as she filed an application through her lawyer Amjad Pervez saying that she could not appear before the court as she had tested positive for COVID-19. Maryam Nawaz and her husband Captain (retd) Safdar Awan had filed appeals against their convic­tion in the Avenfield Apart­ment reference. The Islam­abad High Court (IHC) had previously separated the ap­peals of Nawaz Sharif from the appeals of Maryam and Safdar and declared the for­mer premier a proclaimed offender over his perpetu­al absence from the hearing.
