ISLAMABAD: An accountability court will resume hearing into Al-Azizia Steel Mills reference against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, ARY News reported on Tuesday.
Accountability Judge Muhammad Arshad Malik will chair the proceedings.
Mr. Sharif is expected to appear before the court. He had skipped the accountability court hearing yesterday after he had shown up before the Supreme Court in Pakpattan shrine land case earlier in the day.
Khawaja Haris, counsel of Nawaz Sharif, will continue furnishing final arguments in the case.
On Nov 29, the court had directed the counsel of NAB to present final arguments in the Al-Azizia Steel Mills reference against Sharif. The accountability court had also given a questionnaire to the former PM under section 342 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, to seek his answers. NAB prosecutor, Wasiq Malik, during his arguments, said the accused persons were given ample chance before the JIT, Supreme Court and the NAB to defend the charges, but their proofs turned out to be false, he claimed.
The court had given over 120 questions to Mr Sharif in the Avenfield properties reference and 151 in the Al-Azizia reference.
The Supreme Court on November 19 gave three weeks to the accountability court to wrap up graft references against Nawaz Sharif.
