After preliminary hearing, a bench of the IHC issued notice to the NAB and adjourned the hearing till Monday.
Meanwhile, the bench rejected a miscellaneous application of the former prime minister seeking to restrain the trial court from proceeding in the NAB references until his application is decided.
