References against Sharifs: court adjourns hearing to October 10

An accountability court here on Saturday adjourned the hearing of a NAB application seeking revival of three corruption references against PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif and members of his family until October 10. The application filed by the National Accountability Bureau calls for the reopening of three corruption references relating to Hudabiya Paper Mills, Ittefaq Foundries and Raiwind assets in which members of the Sharif family are allegedly involved.
During the proceedings, an assistant of Khawaja Harris Ahmed, a senior counsel for Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif, apprised the court that a hearing over the quashing of an FIR over the references was to be held at the LHC's Rawalpindi bench on October 1. The counsel's assistant requested the judge to postpone the hearing until the said date. The judge subsequently adjourned the case's hearing to October 10.
