He informed the court that unlike Nawaz’s counsel, he would not take seven days to present his concluding arguments. “I will complete my final arguments within 3-4 days,” he said. A one-day request for exemption from appearing in court, filed on behalf of Nawaz and Maryam, was approved by the court. Pervez then submitted an old medical report of Begum Kulsoom in the court and filed a seven-day exemption request for the defendants. He informed the court that Begum Kulsoom’s new medical report will be received by tomorrow and accordingly submitted to the court. The exemption request stated that Nawaz’s wife is ill and he is London to attend to her. It further said that Maryam is also attending to her ailing mother. Earlier on June 25, Accountability Court hearing corruption cases against Sharif Family on Monday approved 3-days exemption to former Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz from the court appearance. Judge Muhammad Bashir heard the case, in which counsel of Nawaz Sharif, Khawaja Haris appealed the court to grant exemption of 7 days to Nawaz Sharif and his daughter due to the illness of Kulsoom Nawaz, but court approved exemption of 3 days only.
