Good.. so SC found technical flaws in the verdict..Technicalities of the HC appeal verdict and notice to Nawaz and Mariyam
Now they have to justify why shouldnt the suspension be upheld
Burden of proof back on sharif baby
I say that verdict was a grade 1 English book of stories.. there were not only technical flaws, but a lot of dubious understanding and grip of judges on the law..

Nawaz, Maryam issued notices on NAB plea against suspension of jail terms
Web Desk On Oct 24, 2018 Last Updated Oct 24, 2018
ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Wednesday issued notices to former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz on an appeal by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) challenging suspension of their jail terms.
On September 19, 2018 the Islamabad High Court (IHC) had suspended the prison terms of the Sharif family members in the Avenfield reference, releasing them on bail.
Headed by Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar, a bench of the apex court took up the NAB appeal today.
The chief justice remarked that the IHC erred in its ruling as a judgement vis-à-vis suspension of sentence is written over two to three pages. “The high court gave opinion on the case by authoring 43-page long judgment.”
The hearing was adjourned till Nov 6.
NAB special prosecutor Akram Qureshi, who filed the appeal, contended, “IHC has failed to appreciate that through its order, it had seriously prejudiced the case of the prosecution by holding that the trial court judgement suffered from obvious and glaring defects and infirmities and that the convictions and sentences handed down to the accused might not be sustained ultimately.”
The anti-graft watchdog pleaded with the top court to overturn the IHC order and restore the sentences awarded to Nawaz Sharif, his daughter and her spouse.
The court was further requested to cancel the bail granted to all the accused in the corruption reference by the high court.
On September 19, the IHC suspended the sentences handed to former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam Nawaz and son-in-law Mohammad Safdar in the Avenfield corruption reference.
An IHC division bench, while hearing the appeals by the Sharifs against the July 6 accountability court verdict, accepted the convicts’ petitions, ruling that the sentences would remain suspended until the final judgement on their appeals.
An accountability court on July 6, had handed Nawaz Sharif 10 years as jail time for owning assets beyond income and 1 year for not cooperating with NAB in the Avenfield properties corruption reference filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
His daughter Maryam Nawaz was given 7 years for abetment, and her husband Captain (retd) Safdar was given 1 year for non-cooperation with the anti-graft authority.

I am not too sure abt it as two out of three judges in this bench are those who were also part of hudaibya case....i-e Justice Mushir Alam and Mazhar Alam Miankhel
It might b 2-1 in favor of sharifs.... i think unfortunately there are many chances tht IHC will be upheld eventually...
