Nawaz, who had been serving a jail term in Al-Azizia reference case, was also given bail by a bench of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on humanitarian grounds last month.
LHC had asked Maryam to submit her passport to satisfy “judicial conscience” as prosecution expressed apprehension she would flee the country.
The court also asked her to submit two surety bonds of Rs10 million each and deposit Rs70 million with Deputy Registrar.
