The Lahore High Court (LHC) has acquitted former prime minister Nawaz Sharif in the helicopter "misappropriation" case.
A two-member division bench of the LHC declared the lower court's verdict as null and void, thus dismissing the misappropriation case against Sharif, The News reports.
After hearing the arguments of the special prosecutor of National Accountability Bureau (NAB), General Abdul Baseer Qureshi, the court gave its verdict in favour of Sharif, and dismissed the accountability court's earlier verdict that sentenced him to 14 years of imprisonment and along with a fine of 20 million rupees.
