Nawaz Sharif likely to be arrested upon arrival in Pakistan

Islamabad: Legal expert Raja Amer Abbas has said that Nawaz Sharif can be arrested from within the aircraft upon his return to the country.
Speaking on ARY News program 'Aitraaz Hai,' Raja Amer Abbas stated that obtaining bail for Nawaz Sharif before arrest is proving to be a challenge; bail is typically granted when a case is in progress and there is a fear of arrest.
Raja Amer Abbas noted that someone who has been convicted in the past does not usually receive bail as easily. He mentioned that it would be legally complicated for Nawaz Sharif to both return and avoid arrest.
According to legal experts, former Prime Minister has already been sentenced in two cases, and his appeals have been rejected. They would need to convince the courts why they haven't returned for so long, and if they can establish a legitimate reason, the appeal might be reconsidered.
