Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 17th December, 2018) Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif presented a flower to female party member on Monday.
According to media reports, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) member Noreen Masood Gillani got a bail by the Islamabad High Court in the contempt of court case.
Noreen, accused for raising anti-judiciary slogans, then came to the Accountability Court on Monday where she met party supremo Nawaz Sharif.
Upon getting the bail, Nawaz Sharif presented a red flower to the female party member.
Nawaz Sharif also met other party leaders on the occasion.
Khawaja Haris, counsel for Nawaz Sharif, while giving final arguments in Al-Azizia Steel Mill and Flagship Investment references on December 12, informed Accountability Court Judge Arshad Malik that the documents, for which an MLA (Mutual Legal Assistance) was written to the UAE government, were not available on record.
When Khawaja Haris quoted Joint Investigation Team (JIT) head Wajid Zia as saying that there was no transaction of 12 million Dirhams, the judge asked how the payment was made for the Gulf Steel. Was there a bank guarantee or some other payment mode, he added.
The defence counsel replied that when Wajid Zia had disclosed about such a transaction he was not sure about it. Wajid Zia had told a lie that he had tried to contact the children of Muhammad Hussain, a partner in Gulf Steel, he alleged.
He maintained that the JIT had not investigated 75 percent shares sale agreement. When the MLA's answer was received, the JIT tried to make the Gulf Steel sale accord ambiguous by saying that the matter was closed now, he added .
The defence counsel said the JIT also avoided to include Abdullah Kahli in the investigation process, besides not recording statements of witnesses of 25 percent shares sale agreement, claiming that the witnesses were tried to contact.
He maintained that the JIT members did not visit the UAE's foreign ministry and the Pakistani Embassy though the two had attested the agreement of 1980 as per their stamps affixed on its back side. The JIT stated that it did not find the record of agreement from the UAE court, he added.
The judge observed that there was no proof that Tariq Shafi was the "benamidar" for Mian Sharif, which was also admitted by the JIT. Mian Sharif had never stated that Tariq Shafi was his "benamidar", he added.
