Special Court Summons PM Shehbaz, Hamza For Indictment On Sept 7.

LAHORE -- A Special Court in Lahore on Saturday exempted Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his son Hamza Shehbaz from personal appearance for one-day in a case registered by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).

Special Court Central Judge Ijaz Awan conducted the case proceedings. The prime minister and his son did not appear before the court. However, a legal team filed applications for exemption from personal appearance for one-day on their behalf.

Advocate Amjad Pervaiz argued that the prime minister had been advised to avoid road travel as he was not feeling well whereas he could not travel by air due to bad weather on Friday night. He pleaded with the court to exempt his client from personal appearance for one-day.

Another counsel on behalf of Hamza Shehbaz submitted that his client had back-pain and a medical report had also been attached with the exemption application. He also pleaded with the court to exempt his client.
