LAHORE
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) pasted two notices on the main gate of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif's Jati Umra residence on Friday, restraining him from selling the residential property and summoning him to appear before Islamabad's accountability court on Sept 26.
"Your attendance is necessary to answer the charges and you are hereby required to appear in person before the accountability court No 1 Islamabad (Federal) Judicial Complex on Sept 26 at 9am," reads one of the two notices addressed to Mr Sharif.
An official requesting anonymity said that the second notice was meant to restrain the ex-PM from selling his residence. He added that the notices were pasted on the main gate by NAB officials who visited the Jati Umra residence on Friday and introduced themselves as such to the security guards present there.
He said NAB had also sent copies of the notice restraining the ex-PM from selling his property to the Punjab Excise and Taxation Department, the Lahore Development Authority, the Defence Housing Authority, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan and the Lahore deputy commissioner. NAB directed the heads of these departments to ensure implementation of the court orders in letter and spirit, he said.
