The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Thursday granted bail to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif in a money laundering reference filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
Last week, the court had approved Shehbaz’s bail against surety bonds of Rs5 million each, but the matter was again forwarded to the Lahore High Court Chief Justice Qasim Khan after the bench came up with a split decision. Later, the CJ had formed a new three-member bench to hear the bail petition of Shehbaz Sharif.
