AC to take up graft cases against Sharifs

Later on August 23, Prosecutor General NAB Dr Danishwar Malik moved an application praying the court to review its decision of adjournment in these cases sine die. The court accepted the application and would take up the application on September 4.

It was stated in the application that the applications moved in the courts on behalf of chairman NAB may or may not carry his signatures and the signatures of Prosecutor General or his deputy should be taken as the signatures of competent authority.

It is pertinent to mention here that all the three cases were adjourned sine die on the request of chairman NAB in 2001 when under a clandestine deal Mian Nawaz Sharif, Mian Shahbaz Sharif and their other family members were bundled out of the country but when they returned back in fall of 2007 the same cases were reopened on the request of competent authority.
