Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif's son Hassan Nawaz has been officially declared bankrupt by the London High Court on Sunday.

The ruling came in the wake of a tax case filed against him by the UK’s tax and revenue department.

The bankruptcy declaration has pertained to a specific case, numbered 694, which was filed in 2023. The legal proceedings were initiated on August 25, 2023, and had now culminated in the court's decision.

This ruling has garnered attention given Hassan Nawaz's prominent background and the ongoing scrutiny of his financial dealings in both Pakistan and abroad.
