LAHORE: An Accountability Court on Friday extended the judicial remand of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Hamza Shehbaz in the assets beyond means case till 13th March.
AC Judge Jawad-ul-Hassan conducted the hearing during which Hamza Shehbaz was presented before the court under strict security.
During the hearing conducted earlier on 14th February, the judge asked the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) prosecutor about a reference in the same case to which the bureau replied that it would soon submit the report as it’s in the final phase.
Hamza Shehbaz’s bail petition was recently rejected by the Lahore High Court in the same and the assets case.
