Hamza Shehbaz bail extended till June 11

The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday extended the interim pre-arrest bail of Leader of the Opposition in the Punjab Assembly Hamza Shahbaz till June 11.

A two-member bench, headed by Justice Mazahir Ali Naqvi, heard the appeals for extension in the interim bail of Hamza Shahbaz in three cases filed against him by National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

Hamza, who appeared before the court during today’s hearing, is facing inquiries in the cases related to Punjab Saaf Pani Company, Ramzan Sugar Mills, money laundering and assets beyond means.

As Advocate Tarar asked the court to defer the hearing of the case and fix a date for the same after Eidul Fitr, Justice Naqvi said that courts are there so people could get relief, making it clear the court would decide the matter today.
