LAHORE (92 News) – The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Thursday granted interim bail to PML-N leader Rana Sanaullah until March 25. It is pertinent to mention here that Rana Sanaullah approached the LHC for interim bail due to fear of his arrest in the assets beyond income case. A division bench of the LHC headed by Justice Ali Baqar Najafi directed the former minister to submit two surety bonds of Rs0.5 million each, as security deposit for the bail. The court also sought a detailed answer from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). The counsel of Sanaullah argued that whenever the NAB has summoned his client, he appeared before it. ” Only once he could not comply due to his attending the National Assembly session.”
Only mid-term election is solution of country’s all problems
Speaking to the journalists after his bail in the premises of the LHC, Rana Sanaullah said that the NAB summons in one case while arrest in another. He also claimed that the NAB being used for political victimization. “The NAB had adopted this attitude with Shehbaz Sharif. I have come to the court to avoid this attitude of the accountability bureau,” he maintained. The PML-N leader mentioned that the incumbent government is not able to oust the country from economic crisis. “There is no solution of country’s all problems instead of mid-term elections,” he added. Earlier, the high court also stopped NAB from unnecessary harassment of Rana SanaUllah when his counsel informed his clients’ doubt of a possible arrest by NAB in the near future. The court also instructed Sana’s counsel to seek a bail plea for him to avoid further instances involving NAB.
