Punjab govt informs IHC over Nawaz Sharif’s bail extension on medical gerunds

ISLAMABAD: The provincial government of Punjab on Saturday informed the Islamabad High Court (IHC) about its decision to denial extension in bail of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

Sources said the Punjab government has informed the Islamabad High Court about its decision not to extend Nawaz Sharif’s bail through a letter.

It stated that the former prime minister has not sufficient reasons to convince the provincial government to give extension in his bail on medical reasons.

It has been further said through the letter that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Supremo failed to give fresh reports and therefore Punjab government has turned down the extension in his bail on the recommendation of the committee.

Earlier, Nawaz Sharif was awarded bail on the medical grounds by the Lahore High Court and was permitted to go to London for his medical treatment.
