A Pakistan court today issued two bailable arrest warrants against ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in Panama Papers case.

The next date for the hearing is scheduled on November 3.

Last week, Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz were indicted by an anti-graft court in a corruption case related to the Avenfield property in London.

The National Accountability Bureau had registered three cases of corruption and money laundering against 67-year-old Sharif, his family members and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar in the accountability court in Islamabad on September 8.

The cases were registered weeks after the Supreme Court disqualified Sharif as prime minister on July 28 in the Panama Papers scandal.

Nawaz Sharif skipped the hearing as he is in Saudi Arabia with his mother to perform Umra, a Hajj ritual, according to local media reports.
