Lahore High Court (LHC) on Thursday granted Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Hamza Shehbaz bail in Ramzan Sugar Mills case
A bench comprising of Justice Syed Mazhar Ali Akbar Naqvi and Justice Chaudhry Abdul Aziz heard the petition.
The petition for the money laundering case will be heard on February 11, 2020.
In April 2019, an accountability court indicted Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif and his son Hamza Shehbaz, in the Ramzan Sugar Mills case.
“The case is related to the misuse of authority and public funds. A drainage system costing Rs200 million was built only to facilitate Ramzan Sugar Mills. Hamza was the director of the mill while Shehbaz was the then chief minister of Punjab,” the prosecutor informed the court.
Both Shehbaz and Hamza denied the charges, saying the case “is faulty”.
Earlier this year, an accountability court had granted an extension in the judicial remand of the PML-N leader.
