Money laundering case: LHC extends Shehbaz's interim bail till Sep 21

LAHORE (92 News) – Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday has extended interim bail of PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif till September 21 in money laundering case. During the hearing conducted by two-member bench, the opposition leader in National Assembly appeared before court and requested to extend his bail. Adjourning the hearing plea from Shehbaz Sharif's lawyer, the judge remarked that the court had accepted hearing adjourned pleas many times before so the delay in hearing cannot be given for long period of time. Meanwhile, the local administration has also ensured stringent security arrangements to avoid any untoward incident. Earlier, the opposition leader, in his plea, took the stance that NAB might arrest him in a pending inquiry. The anti-corruption watchdog had prepared the case with malicious intentions as he has been declaring his assets regularly, Shehbaz stated.
