The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday overruled its registrar office's objections on PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz’s miscellaneous petition seeking annulment of the verdict in the Avenfield Apartment reference. Qadir stated that they moved the application to bring forth certain facts that happened after the conviction in the Avenfield case. According to the registrar, Maryam had made the same plea in her application as she did in her primary appeal challenging her conviction in the Avenfield case. In the speech, Siddiqui had alleged that the SC was being controlled from “the outside” while hearing the Avenfield case. Maryam Nawaz also termed the extension in the tenure of NAB chief "unconstitutional and illegal".
