An accountability court in Islamabad had accepted the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Rawalpindi’s petition on 23 April for the auction of Nawaz’s assets.

The permission for the auction of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo’s property was granted after he was declared a proclaimed offender in the Toshakhana reference.

In May, the Islamabad High Court had disposed of three petitions submitted for hearing against the auctioning of the properties of Nawaz Sharif.

The former prime minister was sentenced to 11 years in jail in Avenfield reference in July 2018. However, in December 2019, he was granted special permission to go abroad for six months for medical treatment. Since then, the PML-N leader has been living in self-exile in London.
