Former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif’s sons Hassan Nawaz and Hussain Nawaz on Thursday surrendered themselves before an Accountability Court judge in Panama leaks references, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Thursday.
A few days ago, judge Nasir Javed Rana had suspended the perpetual arrest warrants for Hassan and Hussain up till today.
Hasan and Hussain Nawaz were declared absconders in the Panama reference 7 years ago.
Lawyer for Hassan and Husain, Qazi Misbah-ul-Hasan, told the court that since it had suspended the permanent arrest warrants for the accused in the case; now when they both had surrendered, the court was now requested to declare their warrants cancelled.
These are the accused in all three references, Judge Accountability Court remarked.
They are co-accused in all three references, lawyer Qazi Misbah-ul-Hasan took the plea.
He argued that other accused in Al-Azizia and the Avenfield references had been acquitted while they were acquitted by the trial court in the flagship reference.
However, after hearing the arguments of the lawyer, the court canceled the arrest warrants of Hasan and Hussain Nawaz.
