A court of accountability postponed a money laundering lawsuit against Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his family until November 25 on Tuesday.
During the money laundering case hearing against PM Shehbaz and his family, the court inquired as to how many defendants had been brought before it.
In response, the attorney for PM Shehbaz informed the court that Ali Ahmed Khan and Shoaib Qamar had not yet been produced.
Why is it taking so long for both accused to arrive from Karachi, as requested by the court? Their remarks have not yet been captured.
The accountability court judge stated that the next hearing would be the last opportunity to record the statement.
The hearing was then delayed to the 25th of November.
Previously, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and previous Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif petitioned the court to dismiss the money laundering charge brought against them in an accountability court.
Shehbaz Sharif and Hamza Shahbaz have submitted an exemption petition, with the former claiming his participation in the National Assembly session in Islamabad and the latter citing his participation in the Punjab Assembly budget session.
They asked the court to excuse their participation in the proceedings. The court eventually accepted their arguments.
