LAHORE: The Supreme Court on Saturday fixed the date for hearing of a petition on Friday 16 Nov, 18 against the Lahore High Court’s decision to not summon former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and former Punjab chief minister Shahbaz Sharif in the Model Town case.

On September 26, the LHC had rejected a petition to summon the Sharif brothers and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Rana Sanaullah in the Model Town case.

Following LHC’s decision, the petitioner had filed an appeal in the Supreme Court. The top court has fixed the petition for hearing on Friday.

A two-judge bench comprising Justice Gulzar Ahmad and Justice Faisal Arab will hear the petition. Notices have been sent to all respondents, including the petitioner, in this regard.—INP
