LAHORE : Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday approved bail plea of Opposition Leader in Punjab Assembly Hamza Shahbaz in money laundering case.
While announcing the verdict after hearing arguments of both sides, the two-member divisional bench of LHC has directed to release the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader from the Kot Lakhpat Jail.
Hamza Shahbaz has been granted bail over two surety bonds of Rs one million each.
On June 11, 2019, the accountability watchdog had arrested Hamza Shahbaz in Ramzan sugar mills, money laundering and assets beyond means cases after LHC turned down his applications for extension in interim bail.
