An accountability court adjourned the hearing on Monday of the Ramzan Sugar Mills and Ashiana-e-Iqbal Housing cases till May 11 due to the lack of availability of the judge scheduled to conduct the hearing.
The court had been scheduled to hear the Ashiana Housing case against the leader of the opposition in the National Assembly, Shehbaz Sharif, and the Ramzan Sugar Mills case against his son, Hamza Shehbaz.
The accountability court had already accepted an application by Shehbaz Sharif submitted through his counsel Amjad Pervaiz, seeking exemption from personal appearance for a day. Shehbaz is not in the country presently as he is seeking medical treatment abroad.
The father-son duo was indicted in the Ramzan Sugar Mills case earlier this month and the PML-N president had already been indicted in the Ashiana scheme.
