It has been confirmed by well-placed sources that Advocate Amjad Pervaiz will no longer fight the case on the behalf of PML-N leader.

During the hearing today, Maryam has also submitted an application to change her lawyer, citing Amjad’s health reasons.
However, sources said that the rift between the clients and the lawyer is the result of the change in the throes of a crucial case for both PML-N officials.
The court has granted a deadline of September 23 to the defendants for the hiring of a new lawyer.
