\n

PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif has arrived at an accountability court in Islamabad for a hearing of the Toshakhana case.<\/p>\n

Today is a busy day for Nawaz as he is also expected to appear before the Islamabad High Court (IHC) for protective bail in the Al-Azizia and Avenfield references, in which he has been convicted. His plea for restoring his appeals against his conviction are also expected to be heard today.<\/p>\n

The accountability court had suspended<\/a> the perpetual arrest warrants issued in 2020<\/a> for Nawaz in the Toshakhana case on October 19.<\/p>\n

The case alleged Nawaz, former president Asif Ali Zardari and ex-prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani received luxury vehicles and gifts from the Toshakhana \u2014 a department that stores gifts given to rulers, parliamentarians, bureaucrats and officials by heads of other governments, states, and foreign dignitaries.<\/p>\n

In June 2020, an accountability court had issued non-bailable arrest warrants for the former premier. Months later, Nawaz challenged<\/a> the warrants in the Islamabad High Court but had withdrawn<\/a> the petition days later.<\/p>\n

On Sept 10, 2020, he was declared<\/a> a proclaimed offender in the case, with an accountability court initiating the process to confiscate his properties and directing the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to make his arrest through Interpol.<\/p>\n

Footage of Nawaz\u2019s arrival at the accountability court showed his car, which had been showered with rose petals, going through the gate with a large number of PML-N supporters gathered at the back.<\/p>\n

PML-N leaders Shehbaz Sharif, Ahsan Iqbal, Khawaja Asif, Ayaz Sadiq and Saad Rafique were also present for the hearing.<\/p>\n\n
