IHC acquits Nawaz Sharif in Avenfield reference
2023-11-30
[GEO.TV] In a major relief for the former prime minister, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) Wednesday acquitted Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif
...served two three non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf, then by the courts...
in the Avenfield Apartments reference case.

The court also dismissed the plea filed by the National Accountability Bureau in the Flagship reference against the PML-N supremo after the accountability watchdog withdrew it.

An IHC division bench comprising Chief Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb announced the verdict on Nawaz's plea to overturn his conviction in the graft case.

Talking to journalists outside the court after his major legal victory, Nawaz — a three-time prime minister eyeing his fourth term in next year’s general elections — said: "I had left it up to Allah. In al-Azizia [Steel Mills corruption reference] also, I’ve also left my matters up to Allah."
