Nawaz Sharifs' objections to NAB's supplementary reference rejected

An accountability court in Islamabad dismissed objections of the Sharifs to a supplementary reference filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in connection with the Avenfield case on Tuesday.

According to the Dawn, the court decided that the supplementary reference would be made part of the record in the Avenfield flats case.

The accountability court resumed hearing the corruption references against former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his family today.

The former



premier, his daughter Maryam Nawaz and her husband retired Captain Muhammad Safdar were present in court for the hearing.

The supplementary reference - which names Nawaz, three of his children and Safdar - was filed after NAB investigators obtained additional evidence under the mutual legal assistance (MLA).

Sharif, his sons Hasan and Hussain, daughter Maryam, son-in-law Capt (retd) Mohammad Safdar and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar are facing multiple corruption references in the accountability court.
