Accountability Court (AC) Judge Arshad Malik on Tuesday reprimanded two Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders for making noise during the hearing of a corruption case against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.

Former Capital Administration and Development (CAD) minister Dr Tariq Fazal Chaudhry and former information minister Marriyum Aurganzeb were talking to each other in court when the judge summoned the former ministers to the rostrum.

“I was thinking that some illiterate people were making noise, but the I was told that you are educated,” the judge said, while pointing to the PML-N leader. “Don’t you have respect for the court,” he questioned.

The judge directed the people having nothing to do with the case to leave the court. Subsequently, Marriyum Aurangzeb left the court premises.

The accountability judge resumed hearing into the Flagship Investment and Hill Metals corruption case against the former premier today as a National Accountability Bureau (NAB) prosecutor began forwarding his final arguments.
