Share:A Lahore banking court on Saturday extended the interim bail of PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif and his son Hamza Shehbaz in a money laundering case until Oct 30. The father-son duo turned up before the court as Judge Tahir Sabir resumed hearing. A prosecutor informed the court that the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) received a reply to its questionnaire from Shehbaz on Oct 7. FIA challenged the jurisdiction of the court to hear the accused’s bail pleas saying an anti-corruption court could entertain them. On Oct 1, an accountability court had indicted Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif’s wife Nusrat Shehbaz in a money laundering case.
