The Islamabad High Court has set a hearing date for a petition seeking to prevent the government from issuing a diplomatic passport to PML-N supremo and three-time Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his arrest upon his arrival.
The court has set April 18 as the date for the hearing (Monday). Through his lawyers, petitioner Naeem Haider filed a plea in the Islamabad High Court.
He claimed in his petition that because Nawaz Sharif was a convicted and proclaimed offender, the government should not issue him a passport and that he should be arrested upon his return to Pakistan.
The petition named Nawaz Sharif, the PML-supreme N’s leader, as well as the interior and foreign secretaries, as respondents.
