Judge orders IG to inquire the incident; Maryam deplores lawyers' manhandling; requests interior ministry to probe incident ISLAMABAD, Oct 13 (INP) The accountability court adjourned the hearing of graft cases against the Sharif family soon after ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif's daughter and son-in-law , Maryam Nawaz and Captain (retd) Safdar , arrived in court, as PML-N lawyers and supporters created a racket while trying to enter the courtroom. The court was expected to indict Maryam Nawaz and Capt Safdar as their case had been severed from that of Nawaz Sharif and his two sons — Hassan and Hussain Nawaz. Just as accountability court Judge Muhammad Bashir entered the courtroom, a number of lawyers associated with the PML-N forced their way into the court and surrounded the judge's bench, claiming that they were manhandled by security forces outside the court and prevented from entering the courtroom.
