Accountability court on Wednesday has ordered secretary health to provide medical reports to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president and opposition leader in National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif.

The accountability court admin judge Jawad-ul-Hassan has issued a written verdict on Shehbaz Sharif’s plea regarding formation of medical board.

According to the decision, PML-N leader’s personal doctors Professor Arif Khan, Professor Aqeel Bari and Professor Tahir Nasar have been included in the medical board.

Shehbaz Sharif’s plea stated that he is suffering from brain tumor and cancer due to which he needs his medical reports. The court cannot ignore opposition leader’s appeal as per law, the judge stated.

Earlier, during the hearing of money laundering case, Shehbaz Sharif had submitted an appreciation letter of Chinese ambassador in the court on which, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) prosecutor raised objections.

On November 11, 2020, Mian Shehbaz Sharif and his son Hamza Shehbaz Sharif were indicted in money laundering reference by accountability court.

On September 28, 2020, NAB team had arrested Shehbaz Sharif in money laundering case after Lahore High Court (LHC) rejected his bail plea.
