Last month, the same accountability court judge had suspended the arrest warrant of the three-time former prime minister — who returned to the country on October 21 after ending a four-year self-imposed exile in London — in the Toshakhana case after the NAB prosecutor raised no objections.
At the outset of today’s hearing, accountability court judge Muhammad Bashir ordered the authorities to return Nawaz’s seized properties, and vehicles and unfreeze his accounts.
In 2020, an accountability court ordered the confiscation of the property owned by the former prime minister in the Toshakhana vehicles reference after he was declared an absconder by the Islamabad High Court.
The property includes a 1,650-kanal agricultural land in Lahore, a Mercedes, a Land Cruiser, two tractors, local and foreign bank accounts, a bungalow in Murree, and 102-kanal land in Sheikhupura.
