The court disposed of the petition of NAB, after declaring that the order of LHC was ineffective.
It is pertinent to mention here that the Lahore High Court had directed the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to inform former chief minister Punjab Hamza Shehbaz 10 days before his arrest in the references filed against him in clean drinking water, assets beyond means as well as Ramzan Sugar Mills cases.
