ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz on Thursday file petitions in the Accountability Court, seeking delay in announcement of Avenfield reference verdict for seven.

Sources said that Nawaz Sharif had decided to file a petition in the Court after consulting with his lawyers.

Legal experts were of the view that the Court had the authority to delay the verdict. They said that the Accountability Court could delay the verdict after giving immunity of few days over the petition of the accused.

The Accountability Court Judge Muhammad Bashir reserved the verdict in Avenfield reference filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on July 3, and set July 6 (Friday) as date of verdict announcement.

Talking to media in London on Wednesday, Nawaz Sharif asked the Accountability Court to defer the verdict for some more days so that he could listen to the verdict after appearing in the Courtroom.

The former prime minister said he would return to Pakistan as soon as condition of his ailing wife improved. He said he would go to Pakistan whether Avenfield reference verdict came in his favour or against.
