LHC to hear plea seeking cancellation of Maryam’s bail today
Lahore: The Lahore High Court (LHC) to hear National Accountability Bureau (NAB)’s plea seeking cancellation of bail granted to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Vice-President Maryam Nawaz in Chaudhry Sugar Mills case today.
According to details, a two-member bench headed by Justice Sarfraz Dogar and comprising Justice Asjad Garal will hear the case.
On Saturday, court had fixed the plea of anti-corruption watchdog after it had moved Lahore High Court (LHC) against bail of Maryam Nawaz in Chaudhry Sugar Mills case.
NAB, in its petition, argued that PML-N leader is misusing her bail and she is not appearing before NAB despite repeated summons.
The petition further stated that several investigations are underway against PML-N leader but she is not cooperating with anti-graft watchdog despite being on the bail.
It is pertinent to mention here that Maryam Nawaz was taken into custody by NAB on August 08, 2019 over her alleged involvement in the Chaudhry Sugar Mills case.
Later on November 04, 2019, the Lahore High Court (LHC) granted her bail and ordered her to submit two surety bonds, worth Rs. 10 million each, and deposit an additional Rs. 70million and surrender her passport to secure her release.
NAB has accused Sharif family of accumulating assets using Chaudhry Sugar Mills without justifying the means of income.
