LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) will hear the bail application of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Hamza Shehbaz in the Ramzan Sugar Mills reference on January 29. Hamza has filed his bail plea through Advocate Amjad Pervaiz and has made the NAB chairman, NAB Directorate General and Investigating Officer parties in the petition. The petition states that the anti-graft watchdog launched an investigation into the Ramzan Sugar Mills on the basis of malpractice but nothing was found despite multiple inquiries. Advocate Amjad Pervaiz took a stance in the plea that co-accused Shehbaz Sharif has already been released on bail. Hamza was arrested by NAB Lahore on June 11, 2019 in Ramzan Sugar Mills, and money laundering and assets beyond means cases.
