LAHORE: A review petition was filed in the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Saturday against a decision to reject the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shahbaz Sharif’s bail plea.
Advocate AK Dogar filed the review petition in which the federal government and the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) were made respondents. The petition states that the LHC’s decision to declare an appeal against Shahbaz’ arrest “non-maintainable” is “unlawful”.
“If an investigation is going on against someone, he cannot be arrested,” the petition said. Further, the petition reads: “The arrest of the suspect by NAB before the inquiry was completed and any crime was proved is against the Constitution.”
“Thus, the court should review its decision, approve the plea and grant bail,” the petition added.
The leader of the opposition in the National Assembly was arrested by NAB on October 5 in connection with the Ashiana Iqbal Housing Scheme case.
