Nawaz refused to be shifted because his daughter Maryam Nawaz, who was granted bail on Monday in the Chaudhry Sugar Mills case by the Lahore High Court, had not been released from the prison despite the submission of surety bonds and passport to the court.

She was ordered to furnish two surety bonds, each worth Rs10 million, and deposit an additional Rs70 million and surrender her passport to secure her release.

Nawaz has been hospitalized since last month after his blood platelet count dropped to dangerous levels. He is suffering from multiple diseases including diabetes, heart illness among others.
