ISLAMABAD: Hamza Shahbaz, who has been granted bail by the Lahore High Court (LHC), was the longest serving high-profile political detainee of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
The leader of the opposition in the Punjab Assembly has finally got bail after more than 20 months in detention. He was arrested in the alleged money laundering case on June 11, 2019. He has been out of Kot Lakhpat jail in Lahore only during his appearances in the accountability court or the Punjab assembly sessions after his production orders had been issued by Speaker Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi.
Unlike the rules of procedure & conduct of business in the National Assembly, there had earlier been no provision in the provincial legislature’s rules for the issuance of a production order of an incarcerated member of the provincial assembly.
