Prominent Advocate Naeem Bukhari on Wednesday excused himself from appearing as NAB’s lawyer in Thursday’s hearing of a bail application filed in the Supreme Court (SC) by Shehbaz Sharif and former bureaucrat Fawad Hassan Fawad due to medical treatment.
In a letter written to the Registrar of the Supreme Court, Bukhari said that he has agreed to represent NAB as a national duty for the people of Pakistan without charging any fee.
“I have to go through medical tests/checkup for my spinal injuries suffered last year,” he added.
He stated in the letter that “I shall be highly obliged if you bring this to the notice of the Chief Justice and his associate judges so that I may graciously be granted an adjournment on April 18 with the humble request that the CP’s may graciously be listed on any date in the following week.”
