He was granted bail on March 26 by the Supreme Court of Pakistan. The court had suspended the sentence of Nawaz in the Azizia Steel Mills case and granted him bail for six weeks. His bail is expiring on May 7.
The court on his plea remarked that Nawaz Sharif was given six weeks for treatment, but it seemed he had spent the entire time in medical tests alone.
The ousted PM has filed the application for his bail extension in the apex court on April 30. His lawyer Khawaja Haris arguing in the court stated that Nawaz was facing complicated medical issues and the only option available to him was that he got treatment from those doctors who knew his medical history.
