ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Wednesday extended the deadline by two
months for wrapping up the corruption
cases against Sharif family.
The apex court in its July 28 order in Panama Papers case had directed the National Accountability Court (NAB) to file the corruption references in six weeks and ordered the trial court to complete the proceedings in six months.
Following the verdict, the anti-graft body filed the
cases in accountability court
against Nawaz Sharif, his children, son-in-law and Ishaq Dar. With the deadline nearing (March 13), the NAB sought extension from the apex court.
A special bench headed by Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan heard the case today. When the hearing began, the NAB officials present in the court asked for two
months in
cases against Nawaz Sharif and three
months against Dar.
*The extension by the SC prompted quick reaction from Maryam Nawaz. Had there been an iota of evidence
against us they would have announced verdict, she said adding that extension means there?s nothing
against Sharif family.
