An accountability court on Friday directed authorities to return the confiscated assets and properties owned by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Quaid Nawaz Sharif in the Toshakhana case.
Judge Muhammad Bashir, presiding over the case, instructed the respondents to return 1,650 kanals of land in Lahore, bank accounts, properties, and luxury vehicles to the former prime minister.
The decision was made while considering that Nawaz Sharif had traveled abroad for medical treatment with the court's permission. The judge noted that non-bailable arrest warrants had been issued against him by the court, not the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairman. He clarified that the court had already withdrawn the arrest warrants after Nawaz Sharif surrendered.
It is worth mentioning that in October 2020, the accountability court declared Nawaz Sharif an absconder due to his continuous non-appearance in the Toshakhana case and ordered the confiscation of his property.
The case also involves former president Asif Ali Zardari and ex-prime minister Sayed Yousaf Raza Gilani, accused by NAB of receiving luxury vehicles from Toshakhana during the PPP regime
