A division bench of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) led by Chief Justice Aamer Farooq and comprising Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb will hear the appeals of Nawaz Sharif.
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Friday said that the "electoral alliance" between Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) and Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P) will be more beneficial for his party in the upcoming general election.
In one of the cases from 1986, Sharif while serving as Punjab's Chief Minister, allegedly misused his position to allot plots in Allama Iqbal Town and Gulberg areas of Lahore.
In a highly-anticipated meeting of its Central Executive Committee (CEC) on Thursday, the PPP leadership called on the electoral watchdog to hold general elections at the earliest, if not within the 90-day constitutional limit.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's remarks seemed to criticise the PPP allies for prioritising delimitation over holding elections within the constitutionally mandated 90-day period after the dissolution of assemblies.
In a letter written to PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, Mengal stated, "You have nominated such a person as the caretaker prime minister whose appointment has closed the doors of politics for us," according to Geo News report.
The Pakistan Defence Minister said no offer had been made to him to take up the slot. “The PPP and PMLN together have finalized four to five names which will be discussed with other parties,” he said, adding that a name would be finalised within a week.
