LAHORE   -  The Lahore High Court (LHC) Tuesday overruled an objection to the application filed by Opposition Leader in National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif, seeking implementation of the court orders allowing him to travel abroad for medical check-up.

The court directed the registrar’s office to fix the application for hearing before a single bench. The plea was fixed as an objection case before Justice Ali Baqar Najafi after the registrar's office put an objection to it. The office had objected that the petitioner should approach the authorities concerned first for implementation of the orders.

Advocates, Azam Nazir Tarar and Amjad Pervaiz, on behalf of Shehbaz Sharif, advanced their arguments and pleaded with the court for removing the objection. The court was also informed that the petitioner had also filed a contempt petition over being stopped from flying abroad despite the court orders, but it was not fixed for hearing due to Covid-19 pandemic. Subsequently, the court removed the objection and ordered for fixing the matter before a single bench. On the other hand, an accountability court on Tuesday adjourned the hearing of assets beyond means and money laundering reference against Shehbaz Sharif’s family till June 14. Opposition Leader in National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif and his son, Hamza Shehbaz, appeared before the court and got their attendance marked.
