LAHORE (92 News) - Stress increases in Sharif family's problems as a civil court on Monday summoned PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif and vice-president Maryam Nawaz on August 20 for illegally occupation of 4,000 acres of land in Jati Umra. Hearing on application for illegal occupation of 4,000 acres of land, Senior Civil Judge Fozia Saira summoned both of them on August 20. The petition was filed by Punjab University Professor Dr Abdul Rauf. In the petition, the petitioner adopted a stance that the Sharif family had occupied upon his forefathers’ thousands of acres of land in Jati Umra which they had purchased from the then government from 1911 to 1912. "The actual owner of the land in question, Pir Buksh, is still alive," it added. He further demanded that the Sharif family pay a sum of Rs50 billion as financial damages he suffered because of the illegal occupation of the land. It is noteworthy that Maryam Nawaz is facing a land acquisition inquiry instituted by the National Accountability Burea (NAB) for allegedly acquiring 200 hundred acres of land in Raiwind in 2013 in violation of rules.
