The hearing will be held next month.
Addressing the convention, he said that for many years he has been fighting the case of the people and democracy.During the speech, held at a lawyers' convention in Aiwan-e-Iqbal, Sharif reiterated his stance against the Supreme Court decision which led to his disqualification on July 28.
