LONDON: Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has appealed to the Home Department Punjab to extend his bail period in the Al-Azizia case which was granted to him on medical grounds.
In October, Nawaz Sharif was granted bail by the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on medical grounds for eight weeks in the Al-Azizia case and the court directed him to submit two surety bonds of Rs2 million each to the court for securing his release which was later dismissed by the Lahore High Court that permitted Nawaz Sharif to travel abroad on medical grounds.
