An accountability court suspended the arrest warrants against Hasan Nawaz and Hussain Nawaz—sons of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif—in the Al-Azizia, Flagship, and Avenfield cases on Thursday.

Judge Nasir Javed Rana announced the court’s decision reserved earlier today, suspending the warrants against the brothers till March 14.

The warrants were issued against Hasan and Hussain seven years ago after they were declared absconders by the court.

In today’s hearing, both brothers were represented by their lawyer, Qazi Misbah. At the same time, National Accountability Bureau (NAB) prosecutors Sardar Muzaffar, Usman Masood, and Sohail Arif also appeared in the court.

The plea seeking suspension of the warrants was filed as both brothers plan to return to Pakistan on March 12.

Their lawyer, Misbah, revealed the development during the hearing of the Toshakhana reference filed against Nawaz, Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari, and former prime minister Yusuf Raza Gilani. The politicians are accused of having kept various vehicles in violation of the Toshakhana rules.

While presenting his arguments, Misbah said that both brothers were declared absconders in the case and that perpetual warrants were also issued against them.

He told the court that all the other accused were acquitted in these three references. The lawyer added that Hasan and Hussain want to return to Pakistan this month and request the court suspend their perpetual warrants.
