The Lahore High Court has stopped the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) from taking any action against Sharif family. The Sharif family has moved the Lahore High Court (LHC), Rawalpindi Bench, for the recovery of their forfeited property and financial assets taken into possession by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) during 2001-02 while the Sharif brothers were under trial. Through their petitions before the LHC, the Sharif family adopted before the court that NAB has no justification, whatsoever, to keep these things under its possession after the Supreme Court and a bench of the Lahore High Court set aside the sentences earlier awarded to Mian Nawaz Sharif.
