ISLAMABAD: The lawyer for PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz told the Islamabad High Court on Wednesday that the legal procedure was not followed in the Avenfield apartments reference, which he said was not based on any evidence and saw numerous mistakes being committed at the pre-trial stage.
A two-judge bench, comprising Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani, had taken up an appeal filed by Maryam against her conviction in the Avenfield properties case, in which she claimed that she had been persecuted at the behest of “certain people”.
Advocate Irfan Qadir argued on the maintainability of Maryam’s latest application, in which she had sought to present “extremely relevant, simple and clear-cut facts” to support her appeal against the conviction. He said “numerous” mistakes had been made during the pre-trial stage of the case.
