During his visit to G-B in November 2021, former Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Saqib Nisar called an IHC judge and instructed him to guarantee that Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz were not granted bail before the general elections in 2018.

Nawaz and Maryam’s case was still being heard at the high court when the report was received, and Chief Justice Athar Minallah took notice of it and ordered contempt proceedings against the couple.

A news article published in an English daily before of the new year indicated that Shamim had signed the affidavit in the former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s office in London, according to the report.
