According to sources, they intend to submit applications in the Islamabad High Court regarding the Al-Azizia and Even Field references.

These applications, designed to challenge the convictions, are expected to be filed by Nawaz Sharif’s legal representatives within the next 48 hours.

Sources reveal that the final versions of these applications will be formalized after a careful consideration of various legal aspects, likely within the day or by tomorrow.
It’s worth noting that the accountability court had meted out a ten-year prison sentence and a fine of eight million pounds to Nawaz Sharif.
Specifically, in the Al-Azizia reference, the accountability court handed him down a seven-year prison term.
Furthermore, these legal proceedings have rendered former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ineligible to hold public office for a period of ten years.
