The Islamabad High Court on Tuesday ordered to transfer pending corruption cases - Al-Azizia and Flagship Investment- involving former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, to another court. A two-member bench comprising Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb ordered the transfer of the cases to a different court following a plea filed by Sharif's legal counsel requesting the court to transfer the two cases from one Accountability Court to another, reported The Dawn.

The Sharif family had also filed an appeal against their convictions in connection to the Avenfield reference case. The court was adjourned till Wednesday without hearing Captain (retired) Safdar Awan's plea against his conviction in the Avenfield reference. The plea against the conviction of Nawaz and daughter Maryam in the same case was also adjourned till Monday.
