An accountability court (AC) on Saturday summoned Shehbaz Sharif and his son Hamza Shehbaz in Ramzan Sugar Mills case on June 11.

The AC has summoned both the father and son duo by issuing a three-page written order. The court has observed a long-pending absence of the accused. The court order said that Hamza Shehbaz, Leader of the Opposition in the Punjab Assembly, could not be produced in the case hearing due to precautionary measures today.

The court ordered the Superintendent Jail and the SSP Headquarters to produce Hamza Shehbaz in the Ramzan Sugar Mills case next hearing on June 11 at any cost. “In case of non-compliance of the court order, concerned officials have to face legal action,” the court warned.
