LAHORE: The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has expressed concern over a judge’s dissenting note four days after party president Shahbaz Sharif’s bail was announced.
The bail was granted on Wednesday, but Sharif remained in prison. The Lahore High Court’s two-judge bench had a split decision regarding Shahbaz’s bail in the money laundering and assets-beyond-means reference, according to Geo News. Justice Sarfraz Dogar accepted the bail petition, while Justice Asjad Javed Gharal rejected it. The case will now go to a referee judge, who will be appointed by the LHC chief justice.

New figures have revealed that of 1,650 youth justice matters looked at by police between July 1 last year and February 28 this year, 117 were preliminarily identified as being potential vehicles for bail reviews. About 101 of those cases were refused bail by a magistrate, meaning police did not need to launch a bail review.
