ISLAMABAD: An accountability court in Islamabad resumed hearing graft cases against Maryam Nawaz, daughter of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, and her spouse Capt (retd) Safdar on Thursday.
Maryam Nawaz arrived in Islamabad from Lahore by a special plane to appear before the court on Thursday morning.
According to Geo News, Amjad Pervez, lawyer for Maryam and Safdar prayed the court to defer the indictment of his clients because it couldn't be carried out until the complete documents are provided.
NAB prosecutor, however, requested the court to indict the couple today.
A total of 15 special passes have been issued to PML-N leaders and lawyers to enter the court.
Police and FC has been deployed at and around the judicial complex to ensure security.
In the last hearing held on Oct 13, chaos created by supporters and lawyers of PML-N forced the accountability court to adjourn proceedings in graft cases against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam Nawaz and son-in-law Muhammad Safdar.
The court is likely to indict Maryam Nawaz and her spouse Capt (retd) Safdar.
The former prime minister will not appear before the court as he is in London to attend his wife Begum Kulsoom Nawaz undergoing treatment for cancer there.
