Sharif, 68, and his daughter Maryam, 44, were arrested in Lahore on Friday on their arrival from London after an accountability court found them guilty on July 6 over his family's ownership of four luxury flats in London.
Pakistan former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam Nawaz, and Captain (retd) Safdar Awan on Monday filed an appeal in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) against the verdict in the Avenfield case.
Sharif, 68, and his daughter Maryam, 44, were arrested in Lahore on Friday on their arrival from London after an accountability court found them guilty on July 6 over his family's ownership of four luxury flats in London.
As per Geo news, the appeal highlights the legal flaws in the Avenfield judgment. The appeal even requests the court to declare the accountability court's verdict null and void and release the three convicts on bail.
Leading advocate Khawaja Haris would lead the legal team of Sharif, the report said.
Three miscellaneous applications would also be filed for suspension of verdict of Judge Bashir before the IHC Court, it said.
Sharif's legal team will also file the appeal against dismissal of an application by Judge Bashir of the accountability court, seeking transfer of Al-Azizia and Flagship cases to another judge.

A separate petition against the notification issued by the caretaker government for conducting the trial of Sharif in Adiala jail will also land in the IHC next week, the report said.
Sharif's lawyers were in Adiala jail in Rawalpindi on Saturday, to get the legal papers signed.
Sharif was awarded ten years in jail while his daughter got eight years of imprisonment along with others ahead of the general elections in Pakistan on July 25.
Sharifs have been accused of failing to disclose the source of income for purchase of luxury apartments in London.
Nawaz and Maryam arrived in Pakistan on Friday evening, where they were arrested upon their arrival and shifted to Adiala Jail in separate convoys. Safdar was arrested earlier on July 9.
