Rana Sanaullah barred from entering LHC’s premises

LAHORE: Police have reportedly barred Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Rana Sanaullah from entering premises of Lahore High Court.

Rana Sanaullah who was accused in a drug smuggling case was stopped by the police at Regal Chowk when he was on his way to the LHC for Shehbaz Sharif’s hearing.

The police asked him to pull his vehicle aside so they can search it. To which the PML-N leader insisted that he will let the police search his vehicle in the presence of media only.

According to him, he was previously intercepted by the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) that later claimed to have recovered heroin from his vehicle upon search.

Sanaullah said that he is not afraid of arrests, “The case against Shahbaz Sharif is baseless,” he maintained adding that it is his constitutional and legal right to go to court.

Moreover, LHC will hear a bail plea filed by Shehbaz Sharif in the assets case today. According to details, a two-member bench presided by Justice Tariq Abbasi will hear the plea.

On Monday, Shehbaz Sharif through his lawyer Amjad Pervaiz moved the bail petition in the assets beyond means and money laundering case.
