Hassan Nawaz and Hussain Nawaz set to return to Pakistan on March 12

Hassan Nawaz and Hussain Nawaz, the sons of former prime minister and PML-N supreme leader Nawaz Sharif, are set to return to Pakistan on March 12. 

On Thursday, an accountability court in Islamabad suspended the arrest warrants of Hassan Nawaz and Hussain Nawaz, sons of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

The accountability court judge Nasir Javed Rana announced the decision, which was reserved on Thursday. 

As per the decision, the trial court suspended the permanent arrest warrants issued for Hassan and Hussain until March 14.

Their lawyer told the court that Hassan Nawaz and Hussain Nawaz want to return to Pakistan on March 12 and appear in court. The execution of the permanent warrants should be delayed

Advocate Misbah argued during the hearing that while permanent arrest warrants for Hassan and Hussain were still in effect, the other accused in the case had been acquitted.

The court had issued perpetual warrants for them in the Avenfield case, in which Nawaz Sharif has been already acquitted.

Meanwhile, Hassan and Hussain have been already granted relief in the al-Azizia and Flagship references.

They were declared absconders by the court seven years ago after their repeated failure to appear in court despite notices.
