SC extents deadline to wrap up NAB references against Sharif family

Islamabad (Staff Report): The Supreme Court (SC) on Wednesday extended the deadline given to wrap up corruption references against former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his family.

According to details, in today's hearing the NAB could not provide complete report of references against Sharif family and Ishaq Dar.  Therefore, the SC extended the deadline, by two months in case of references against Sharif family while by three months in reference case against Ishaq Dar.

Today, Justice Ijazul Ahsan asked whether the Sharif family was using delaying tactics, to which NAB's counsel answered in the negative. The NAB said that no one had used delaying tactics in the case.

It is pertinent to remember that in July the SC had given the NAB six months to complete proceedings on the corruption references against Sharif family.
