Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shehbaz and his son Hamza appeared for the hearing of the case at the banking court.

The court judge asked the counsel for the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to inform him about the progress in the investigation, to which the FIA ​​lawyer said that a questionnaire was sent to Shahbaz and that the Opposition leader had submitted a reply yesterday (Friday).

The FIA ​​lawyer said that the investigation will move forward after taking into account Shahbaz's responses, to which the judge said that it was too late as applications for interim bail lay pending before the court.

The FIA ​​objected to a banking court hearing the case, saying that due to anti-corruption provisions, it does not have the jurisdiction to do so.

At this, the judge said that for the first time, a question of jurisdiction has been raised by the public prosecutor. He said that the matter would be taken up on October 30.

During the proceedings, Shahbaz informed the court that this was part of the "same case" in which a UK court had found him not guilty of corruption.

Adjourning the day's proceedings, the banking court judge said that the next hearing would take place on October 30.

The bail of both were eralier extended as of October 9 (today).
