Meanwhile on Saturday, an Accountability Court in Lahore issued release orders for the former premier in Chaudhry Sugar Mills case a day after the Lahore High Court granted him bail on medical grounds.
The LHC had granted bail to Sharif on Friday ordering him to deposit two surety bonds of Rs 10 million each.
The former premier will only be able to walk free if he is granted bail in the Al Azizia and Avenfield Properties cases, both being heard by the Islamabad High Court.
