The leader of the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N), Nawaz Sharif, filed an appeal against his conviction in the Al-Azizia reference, and the Islamabad High Court (IHC) agreed to  consider it on merits on Thursday. The former premier’s appeal was heard by division bench that  included Justice Mian Gul Hasan Aurangzeb and Chief Justice  Aamir Farooq. The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) pleaded with the IHC  to remit the appeal back to the accountability court during the case hearing. The bench, however, declined the NAB’s appeal and instead to  consider the case on its merits. The leader of the PML-N entered the courtroom accompanied by his legal staff. In the Al-Azizia Steel Mills reference, the accountability court fined the  former prime minister 2.5 million pounds and sentenced him to  seven years in prison on December 24, 2018.
