ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 07th Dec, 2017 ) :An Accountability Court (AC) of Islamabad Thursday dismissed a plea of Nawaz Sharif's counsel seeking not to make the documents submitted by a bank manager as part of the case record related to the Al-Azizia Steel Mills reference.
The court also again summoned NAB witness Malik Tayyab Ahmed on December 11, for cross examination and adjourned hearing on the reference. AC Judge Muhammad Bashir resumed hearing of the Al-Azizia reference.
Former prime minister's representative Zafir Khan also appeared before the court. During the hearing, the junior counsel for the former prime minister, Ayesha Hamid argued that Noreen Shahzad, a private bank manager, was not in the list of NAB witnesses.
