Avenfield Reference review petition: Maryam Nawaz appears before IHC

Avenfield Reference

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) will hear appeals filed by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam Nawaz and his son-in-law captain Muhammad Safdar against their conviction in the Avenfield reference today (Tuesday).

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz has appeared before the IHC to attend a hearing of the Avenfield Apartments review petition.

The entry of non-relevant persons, including PML-N workers and supporters, will not be allowed inside the courtroom. Party workers will be kept away from the IHC building. The petition is expected to be taken up by the court by 11:30 am.

A two-judge bench comprising Justice Aamir Farooq and Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani will hear the case.

However, Mian Nawaz Sharif had sought exemption from attending the hearing, while Maryam and Safdar had filed a request for adjournment. All three — Nawaz, Maryam and Safdar — are out on bail in the case.
