Former Pak prime minister Nawaz Sharif reaches Dubai before heading to Islamabad on Saturday

Dubai: Former Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif has arrived in the UAE to meet a select group of people a day ahead of his return to Pakistan without the fear of immediate arrest upon landing, according to a media report on Friday.

Sharif, also the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo, landed in Dubai late on Thursday night and is expected to return to Pakistan on a chartered flight, ending



a self-imposed four-year exile in London, Geo News reported.

In Pakistan, the Islamabad High Court on Thursday provided temporary relief to Sharif as it granted the 73-year-old former prime minister a protective bail in the Avenfield and Al-Azizia corruption cases until October 24. An anti-corruption court also suspended his arrest warrant in the Toshakhana vehicles case.
