IHC bars NAB from arrest of PM’s son-in-law

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Wednesday restrained NAB from arresting Haroon Yousaf – the son-in-law of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

The IHC division bench, headed by Chief Justice Aamer Farooq, also ordered the prime minister’s son-in-law to appear before the court on Thursday (today) for protective bail. Advocate Amjad Pervaiz appeared before the court on behalf of his client Haroon Yousaf Aziz.

Haroon Yousaf, PM Shehbaz’s son Suleman, and daughter Rabia Imran were declared absconders by the court over failure to appear in the case proceedings.

Suleman recently ended his self-exile and returned to the country after securing an interim protective bail from the IHC.
