ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday summoned the director general of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on June 19, in a case related to Nawaz Sharif’s plea seeking bail on medical grounds.
A two-member bench comprising Justice Aamir Farooq and Justice Mohsin Kiyani heard the former prime minister’s plea in the Al-Azizia Reference.
The medical board submitted its report about Sharif’s health in the court, while the court showed its resentment over NAB for failing to submit its reply in the plea.
“NAB has become fond of submitting its replies in the cases in three to four months,” remarked Justice Aamir Farooq.
The court while directing the NAB DG to appear before the court, adjourned the hearing of the plea till June 19.
Sharif is currently serving a jail term of seven years in the Al-Azizia reference filed against him by NAB.
Earlier, Sharif had returned to Kot Lakhpat Jail upon the expiry of six-week bail granted to him by the Supreme Court on medical grounds.
