An accountability court in Islamabad has once again deferred the announcement of reserved verdict in LNG reference against former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and others, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

The court on Monday said that the verdict will now be pronounced on July 18 as the concerned judge has not finished it in writing and he needs more time.

The court then adjourned the hearing until July 18.

Khaqan Abbsi’s lawyer Barrister Zafarullah was present in the court.
