LAHORE: Lahore High Court (LHC) will hear a bail plea filed by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Shehbaz Sharif in the assets case tomorrow.
According to details, a two-member bench presided by Justice Tariq Abbasi will hear the plea. On Monday, Shehbaz Sharif through his lawyer Amjad Pervaiz moved the bail petition in the assets beyond means and money laundering case.
He cited the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman Justice retired Javed Iqbal and others as respondents.
He claimed in his petition that the NAB’s assets beyond means case against him are baseless. It launched the probe against him under the incumbent government’s influence, he alleged.
According to Shehbaz Sharif, the anti-graft watchdog initiated charges against him without any shred of evidence as he has been declaring his assets consistently. He added the money laundering charges leveled against him too are baseless.
The petitioner in his plea stated that he feared that the NAB may arrest him in connection with its pending inquiry and therefore, pleaded with the high court to grant him interim bail.
