March 01, 2019:
Ex- Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mr. Nawaz Sharif was on December 24 sentenced to seven years in prison by an Anti-Corruption Court in Al-Azizia Steel Mills case for owning a steel factory abroad without disclosing its ownership.
On February 25, the IHC dismissed the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) leader's plea seeking bail and suspension of his sentence on medical grounds.
A petition has been filed by Sharif's counsel Khawaja Haris on Friday seeking that the High Court's decision be declared null and void.
The Anti-Corruption Court Judge had last year imposed hefty fines on Sharif after ruling that Al-Azizia Steel Mills, a Saudi Arabian firm, carrying the name of his son, belongs to the three-time Premier and that he was unable to demonstrate how the project was funded.
