Barrister Zafarullah represented Shahid Khaqan Abbasi during the hearing.
He opposed the NAB’s move to exclude the name of Muzaffarul Islam from the reference.
He said how one’s name can be excluded from the case in an incomplete trial?
Barrister Zafarullah said according to the NAB, Shahid Muzaffarul Islam was co accused with his client, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi in the reference.
The court after hearing the arguments extended judicial remand of Abbasi and adjourned hearing till March 9.
Bail plea rejected
Hearing on bail plea of former PM and minister postponed until February due to sick leave of Islamabad High Court (IHC) Chief Justice Athar Minallah.
Former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had sought bail.
Since the CJ IHC has gone on sick leave, the bail petitions of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader, postponed without any proceedings.
A two-member IHC bench will hear the bail pleas of both on Feb24.
National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had filed cases against Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.
