The Lahore High Court issued notices to Nawaz Sharif, Shahbaz Sharif, Chaudhry Nisar and others. The petitioner, Javed Iqbal Jaffari, contended that the respondents had shifted billion of rupees and also amassed assets abroad illegally. He therefore prayed to the court to direct the respondents to submit the details of their assets abroad. He also prayed to the court to direct the respondent government to bring back the amount that the respondents had allegedly shifted abroad.
