The Islamabad High Court bench, hearing two appeals by former premier Nawaz Sharif against his conviction in the Al Azizia and Avenfield corruption references, said on Wednesday that he would be declared a proclaimed offender. The court will issue a written order to this effect shortly.

A two-member bench, comprising Justices Aamer Farooq and Mohsin Akhtar Kiyani, heard the appeals filed by Nawaz himself. During the hearing, the court recorded the statements of the Foreign Office Europe-I Director Mubashir Khan and Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) official Ejaz Ahmed.

Khan, in his statement, told the court that he had received the advertisements for Nawaz's summons that were issued by the court and had sent them to the Pakistan High Commission in London. The official said that Nawaz was informed about the proclamations through Royal Mail and confirmation of delivery from the mail service was received on November 30.
