Maryam’s appeal fixed for hearing in Avenfield reference

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has fixed appeals of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz's (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz in Avenfield Property reference on Tuesday for hearing.

It is pertinent to note that a division bench of the IHC comprising Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Mohsin Akhter Kiyani would hear the appeals of Maryam Nawaz and Captain (retd) Muhammad Safdar.

Earlier, the appellants had challenged their conviction in the Avenfield property reference, and their lawyers had sought adjournment from the court on the pretext of engagements in the Supreme Court.

It merits mention that the court had already separated the matter of Nawaz Sharif from the case after declaring him as an absconder.
