Daily Times Shehbaz s counsels complete arguments on post-arrest bail: NAB to argue today
April 22, 2021
The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday observed that decisions on bail matters can only be made after knowing all the facts.
The LHC observed this while taking up the bail petition of Opposition Leader in National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif. A three-member bench, headed by Justice Ali Baqar Najafi, and comprising Justice Aalia Neelum and Justice Shahbaz Rizvi, heard the case.
During the hearing, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif’s counsels Senator Azam Nazir Tarar and Amjad Pervez argued that they do not want to take the case back to where it began from.
The relatives were also the shareholders of said companies, NAB’s prosecutor informed the court. Were these companies established in 2005?
To this, NAB replied that at different points of time after 2005, these companies were established. The prosecutor further added that eight major companies had also been established between 2008 and 2018. The assets of Rs299 million and 26 TTs had been transferred in Nusrat Shehbaz.
At this, Shehbaz s counsel Amjad Pervez argued that this case was a hearing related to Shehbaz Sharif.
Salman Shehbaz received TTs valuing Rs1 billion and Rs60 million, the NAB argued further.
Justice Najafi asked that what was the age of Salman Shehbaz when he received his first TT? The NAB’s prosecutor replied that he was 23 years old at the time.

The legal fraternity is of the view that “it is crystal clear now that Justice Asjad Javed Ghural will write a dissenting note” and the matter will be sent to a third judge, who is yet to be nominated by LHC Chief Justice Muhammad Qasim Khan.
