Court to be approached for extension in Nawaz's bail: Hussain Nawaz

LONDON: Son of former prime minister Hussain Nawaz on Monday announced to seek an extension in bail of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Nawaz Sharif from the Pakistan courts, ARY NEWS reported.

The Lahore High Court (LHC) on November 16 allowed former prime minister Nawaz Sharif to travel abroad for a period of four weeks for medical treatment, without having to sign the indemnity bond suggested by the federal government.

“We will be submitting the reports of recently conducted treatment of the former premier in the courts to acquire extension in bail,” he said while talking to media in London.

He blamed that politics was played in the name of the PML-N leader’s deteriorating health condition and declined to give any deadline for completion of the ongoing medical treatment.
