The orders were issued by the two-member bench comprising, Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani, hearing the appeals filed by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif against his sentence in the Al Azizia and Avenfield reference.
During the hearing, Foreign Ministry’s Director Europe Mubashir Khan, recorded his statement before the court. He stated that he had received the court’s advertisements regarding Nawaz Sharif and sent it to the Pakistani High Commission in London.
On the other hand, FIA’s Aijaz Ahmed, in his statement to the court, said that he had led a team of FIA Punjab to deliver the advertisements to Nawaz Sharif’s residence. He added that he delivered the advertisements at the Jati Umra and Model Town residence of the PML-N supremo in Lahore.
