LAHORE (Dunya News) – A petition on Monday has been submitted in Supreme Court (SC) to declare house of ex-prime minister Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam Nawaz and son-in-law Captain (r) Safdar as sub-jail.
The petition was filed by chairman of Watan Party Barrister Zafarullah Khan in which, he stated that references against former PM are pending at accountability court.
Nawaz Sharif held office of PM for three times, therefore, his house can legally be declared as sub-jail, he added.
Federation, Punjab Chief Secretary, Home Secretary and Inspector General of the jail have been named in the petition.
Earlier, Maryam Nawaz and Nawaz Sharif were expected to be shifted to Sihala Rest House after former Punjab CM and PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif wrote a letter to caretaker Punjab government seeking better facilities for them at Adiala Jail.
Shehbaz had asked the authorities to ensure continuous provision of medicines and medical examination to Nawaz Sharif from his personal doctor.
While responding to the demand, caretaker Punjab Law Minister Zia Haider said that it was onus of PML-N government to take measures towards improving infrastructure and availability of basic jail facilities where they failed to do the needful.
Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz and Captain Safdar were convicted and sentenced to prison in absentia for ten years, seven years and one year respectively, in Avenfield verdict that is likely to further disrupt an already chaotic campaign for national elections this month.
Maryam Nawaz and Captain (r) Safdar, who were candidates for the forthcoming general elections were also disqualified from contesting elections for 10 years each.
The sentence and a fine of 8 million pounds, or $10.6 million, came almost a year after Supreme Court removed Sharif from office and less than five months after the court barred him from holding office for life.
Nawaz Sharif was convicted under section 9(a)(5) of the NAB ordinance.
