LAHORE: Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday directed the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to notify arrest warrants issued for Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz at least 10 days in advance. “Have you [NAB] issued arrest warrants [for Maryam Nawaz]?” asked the bench. Maryam’s counsel, Azam Nazeer Tarar, requested the court to restrain the agency from issuing arrest warrants for his client without informing Maryam “10 days in advance”. The bench told Tarar he can approach the high court if the arrest warrants are issued without prior information. NAB has nominated desposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif, National Assembly Opposition Leader Shahbaz Sharif, Maryam, and the Sharif brothers’ late mother Shamim Bibi as prime suspects in the reference.
