An accountability court in 2018 sentenced Nawaz to 10 years for owning assets beyond known income, with an additional year for non-cooperation with the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). Nawaz was declared a proclaimed offender in 2020 when he left for London on medical grounds.
Nawaz Sharif called for harmony among all constitutional institutions and political players in Pakistan for the country's development. Upon his return, he signed some applications that will be filed to restore his appeals against prior convictions.
The bench ordered that the defendants' bail in the case would be maintained while the National Accountability Bureau's (NAB) plea against the suspension of the sentences would be heard separately, Geo News reported.
Sharif, 68, and his daughter Maryam, 44, are serving jail terms of 10 years and 7 years respectively in Adiala jail in Rawalpindi, after an accountability court convicted them on July 6 over the family's ownership of four luxury flats in London.
