Court turns down Nawaz lawyer’s object­ions, includ­es bank docume­nts in case record­An accountability court, hearing the Azizia Steel Mills corruption reference filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) against Nawaz Sharif, on Thursday dismissed the objections raised by the counsel for ousted prime minister against a prosecution representative. “In what capacity has Noreen Shahzad submitted documents to the court?” Hamid had asked, adding that Shahzad was not able to present an authority letter from her employer. Judge Mohammad Bashir, after hearing arguments from both sides on Thursday, rejected the objections raised by Hamid against Shahzad’s status. The NAB prosecutor had argued that Shahzad was now the manager of the bank where Tayyab was earlier employed. He said that Shahzad too had presented documents concerning Nawaz Sharif’s bank accounts.
