Islamabad: An accountability court here has ordered the Kot Lakhpat Jail's administration to provide Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly, Shahbaz Sharif, home-cooked food and a mattress, among other facilities in his prison cell.
According to a report in Daily Jang, the accountability court's order came during the hearing of a petition by the PML-N president, who was arrested by the National Accountability Bureau after the Lahore High Court turned down a bail plea he had filed and cancelled his interim bail.
The ruling was given by Admin Judge Jawadul Hassan, who said Shahbaz should be provided with the facilities as per the law in light of his medical history, Geotv reported.
It ordered that a mattress, chair, home-cooked meals, and other facilities be made available to Shahbaz Sharif.
