LHC adjourns Maryam Nawaz’s ECL plea till Feb 25
The Lahore High Court on Tuesday adjourned the hearing of a plea submitted by Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) vice-president Maryam Nawaz seeking permission to travel abroad.
The high court resumed the hearing on the plea where Maryam Nawaz’s lawyer appeared to continue arguments. During the hearing, Maryam’s lawyer in his arguments told the judge that the court had already granted bail to PML-N leader in Chaudhary Sugar Mills case and suspended sentence in the Avenfield case. “Maryam should be allowed to travel abroad,” said Maryam’s counsel and requested the court to attach former PM Nawaz Sharif’s fresh medical reports as part of the ECL case.
Upon this, the court sought an answer from the National Accountability Bureau on a request of Maryam Nawaz for making Nawaz Sharif’s fresh medical reports as part of the ECL plea case. The court then adjourned the hearing till February 25. In 2018, Maryam was arrested and shifted to Adiala jail. Later, she was released from jail after the Islamabad High Court suspended her prison sentence.
