He said the courts should also vacate stay orders given to the sugar mills.
Meanwhile, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhary Fawad Hussain has asked Sharif family that how it accumulated properties worth billions of rupees, instead of fabricating silly stories and conspiracy theories.
