00:00 Hussain, what was the proceedings today in Islamabad High Court?
00:04 These two cases were presented today.
00:07 Respected Nawaz Shiha, Hassan Ayub was also there to welcome him.
00:10 I think you met him.
00:12 I didn't go to welcome him, I went to talk to him.
00:15 Okay, tell me, if we look at these two cases,
00:18 how will they proceed,
00:21 how long do you think they will conclude?
00:23 Because the prosecutors of NAB,
00:26 where they are present, what do you think of their body language?
00:30 That this case will be closed in a week or 10 days?
00:32 Because there is a view of Noon League that this case will be cleared very soon.
00:36 Look, today in Islamabad High Court,
00:44 the appeals against Nawaz Shiha's case on Evan Field and Al Azizia Reference
00:48 have been heard.
00:50 Today, the arguments to be made on marriage were not heard.
00:54 It was heard for about half an hour or 25 minutes.
00:58 And after that, the arguments that were made on 27 November,
01:02 the appeals against Nawaz Shiha's case,
01:06 the defendants, the court inquired from them
01:11 how long will you complete these arguments.
01:16 So Nawaz Shiha's defendants told the court that
01:19 they will complete the arguments in 4 to 6 hours.
01:22 However, the NAB prosecutor said that they will only need half an hour.
01:26 Chief Justice Amir Farooq remarked that if needed,
01:29 they will do the hearings on the basis of the daily appeals.
01:33 And now the case has gone to the Peer.
01:35 The Peer will now start the final arguments,
01:38 which will be the arguments on marriage.
01:40 And after that, when the defendants of Nawaz Shiha will complete the arguments,
01:44 the version of NAB will come.
01:46 And it seems that the version of NAB will be quite short,
01:50 because they disclosed it today.
01:52 They said that it will take half an hour or half an hour.
01:56 After that, the Chief Justice said that
01:58 we will give you another 1 to 2 hours.
02:01 After that, the matter has gone to the Peer.
02:04 And now it seems that the NAB's position
02:09 and the cases that have been filed,
02:13 there will be another 1 or 2 hearings.
02:16 And after that, this case will be closed.
02:19 Hussain, tell me that today I was also present.
02:22 So the D.B. said that you have to give arguments on Avanfield first.
02:30 Keep Al Azizia aside.
02:32 So will this bench also support Al Azizia
02:36 or will it become a separate bench for Al Azizia?
02:38 Will these cases remain closed as they are now
02:40 or will these cases, Al Azizia and Avanfield,
02:43 go in front of the D.B. separately?
02:46 Yes, absolutely. You will remember this Al Azizia reference.
02:50 When the former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was given two months,
02:54 and after that he went abroad to get his name removed from ECH,
02:58 at that time, Justice Amir Farooq Sahib
03:02 was with him and Justice Mohsin Akhtar Giani was also present in the bench.
03:05 But today you must have seen that Justice Mian Gul was also present in the bench.
03:09 And even today, Justice Mian Gul said that
03:13 the formation of the bench also has a purpose.
03:17 However, the Chief Justice also said that we will see the case of Al Azizia reference later
03:23 because the bench was there or not.
03:25 But as far as Avanfield is concerned,
03:27 when the punishment was suspended in Avanfield reference,
03:30 you will remember that Chief Justice Akhtar Mianullah,
03:34 who later became Chief Justice,
03:35 at that time he was not Chief Justice,
03:38 but in the bench, Justice Mian Gul was with Hasan and Amir.
03:41 Chaudhary Ghulam Sain Sahib also wants to ask you a question.
03:43 Yes, Chaudhary Sahib.
03:44 You have also gone to the Supreme Court.
03:45 Yes, yes, yes, Chaudhary Sahib.
03:46 Hussain Chaudhary Sahib, what you have told so far
03:51 and what I have heard the rest,
03:54 I feel that the lawyers of the accused
03:59 and the lawyers of the deputy,
04:02 the lawyers of the deputy will also bring the lawyers of the accused
04:06 and will own the arguments
04:08 and will issue a consent and compromise decree
04:13 giving total relief to Nawaz Sharif.
04:16 I think he asked for half an hour,
04:18 I think he asked for more than half an hour.
04:19 He had an option.
04:21 This is more.
04:21 If he wanted to return the nap from here,
04:24 then there was no problem.
04:25 Yes, Hussain.
04:26 Yes, absolutely.
04:27 Chaudhary Sahib is right.
04:28 As he answered today,
04:31 when the Nap Prosecutor said that it will take half an hour
04:33 or more,
04:34 then the whole court of the court said
04:38 and...
04:39 Hussain, in half an hour,
04:40 his arrival from his office to the High Court will also be included.
04:45 I think breakfast will also be included.
04:47 And after that, obviously,
04:47 because you have reached the main Constitution Avenue of the High Court,
04:51 it will not take much time.
04:52 Mr. Khawar, discuss something else.
04:53 Okay, let's move ahead.
