Islamabad: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) acquitted former premier Nawaz Sharif in the Al-Aziza reference as well by approving his appeal against his punishment in the case by an accountability court back in 2018.
A two-member divisional bench of the IHC headed by Chief Justice Amir Farooq and Mian Gul Hassan Aurangzaib heard the reference today.
The court in its verdict suspended the accountability court verdict in the Al-Azizya reference.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) insistence sending the reference back to the accountability court was rejected by the court.
It is pertinent to mention here that the AC had sentenced him seven years of imprisonment back in December 2018.
