LAHORE,  (DNA) – A petition on Monday has been submitted in Supreme Court (SC) to declare house of ex-prime minister Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam Nawaz and son-in-law Captain (r) Safdar as sub-jail.

The petition was filed by chairman of Watan Party Barrister Zafarullah Khan in which, he stated that references against former PM are pending at accountability court.

Nawaz Sharif held office of PM for three times, therefore, his house can legally be declared as sub-jail, he added.

Federation, Punjab Chief Secretary, Home Secretary and Inspector General of the jail have been named in the petition.

Earlier, Maryam Nawaz and Nawaz Sharif were expected to be shifted to Sihala Rest House after former Punjab CM and PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif wrote a letter to caretaker Punjab government seeking better facilities for them at Adiala Jail.

Shehbaz had asked the authorities to ensure continuous provision of medicines and medical examination to Nawaz Sharif from his personal doctor.
