Islamabad (Staff Report): The Islamabad High Court on Wednesday declared former premier Nawaz Sharif absconder in Avenfield and Al Azizia cases.
A two-member bench, comprising Justices Aamer Farooq and Mohsin Akhtar Kiyani, heard the appeals filed by Nawaz himself.
During the hearing, Deputy Attorney General Tayyab Shah informed the court that proclamations issued by the IHC were published in all newspapers in English.
