LAHORE: Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday has approved bail plea of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif in money laundering case.
During the hearing conducted by a two-member bench of LHC, National Accountability Bureau (NAB) representative completed his arguments.
After listening the statements of both sides, the court granted bail to PML-N leader and directed the authorities to release him from Kot Lakhpat jail over two surety bonds of Rs5 million each.
LHC had granted bail to Hamza Shahbaz in money laundering case after 20 months and directed the authorities to release him from the jail over submission of two surety bonds.
Shehbaz Sharif had termed the allegations of money laundering and kickback as baseless. Daily Mail’s lawyer had confessed to not having enough evidence during the proceedings in British court, he added.
NAB prosecutor said that London’s verdict has nothing to do with this case.
PML-N president had also submitted an appreciation letter of Chinese ambassador in the court on which, NAB prosecutor raised objections.
Director General of NAB Lahore had submitted a report in the court through investigation officer on freezing the properties of Shehbaz Sharif’s wife Nusrat Shahbaz, daughter Rabia Imran and others.
Shehbaz Sharif told that there was no doctor dealing with cancer patients present in the government panel, therefore, he requested the court to include his personal doctor in the board.
