The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Tuesday rejected former prime minister and PML-N Rahber Muhammad Nawaz Sharif’s plea for exemption from court appearance in the Al-Azizia and Avenfield cases and issued his non-bailable arrest warrant.

The court directed that Nawaz Sharif be produced before it on September 22. A division bench, comprising Justice Aamir Farooq and Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani, heard Nawaz’s appeals against his conviction in the two references.

Justice Aamir Farooq asked why a petition had been filed for cancellation of Nawaz Sharif’s bail, as first the court had to decide whether his plea was acceptable or not. He remarked that the court would hear Nawaz Sharif’s exemption plea first.
