Lahore: On Wednesday, the Lahore High Court approved the bail of PML-N leader Khawaja Asif in a case involving money laundering and possession of assets beyond known sources of income.
On December 29, NAB arrested the leader of the PML-N Parliament in the National Assembly on suspicion of possessing assets beyond known sources of income.
He was arrested after leaving the residence of Ahsan Iqbal, the general secretary of PML-N, where he attended a consultative meeting to decide whether PML-N should participate in the Senate election.
On Wednesday, the judges of the LHC, composed of Judges Alia Neelam and Judges Shahbaz Rizvi, handed down the verdict.
He filed a bail request on March 27, 2021, arguing that he had submitted the detailed information required by NAB and claimed that the anti-corruption regulator did not share any records submitted by him.
“The accountability court judge also observed that NAB has all relevant records,” Asif said.
He has stated that the Federal Taxation and Election Commission of Pakistan also has a record of the assets he owns.
