Earlier, former premier  Nawaz Sharif’s troubles seem far from over as the British authorities have turned down his request for an extension in his visa.

According to sources, the British Home Office refused to extend Nawaz Sharif's visa as his passport was not renewed. A few days ago, a team of Nawaz Sharif's lawyers filed an appeal against the denial of visa.

Family sources say Nawaz Sharif's stay in the UK is still legal.
