A Pakistani anti-graft court on Saturday adjourned the hearing of corruption charges against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, saying he should attend the proceedings in person.
Islamabad, Aug.25 : A Pakistani anti-graft court on Saturday adjourned the hearing of corruption charges against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, saying he should attend the proceedings in person.
The court had last week accepted a government request to re-open corruption cases against Sharif, who was ousted in a 1999 coup and later sent into exile by army chief -- and now president -- General Pervez Musharraf.
The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that Sharif should be allowed to return. He said he would be back soon to contest elections.
The next hearing of the case has been set for September 7.
