LHC grants bail to Maryam Nawaz in sugar mills case

LAHORE, Nov 04 (APP):The Lahore High Court (LHC) Monday granted bail to central leader
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Maryam Nawaz in Chaudhry Sugar Mills (CSM) case.

The bench directed for furnishing two surety bonds of Rs 10 million, depositing an additional Rs 70 million and submission of passport to avail the relief.

The bench, comprising Justice Ali Backer Najafi and Justice Sardar Ahmad Naeem, announced the verdict in open court, which had been reserved during the last week on conclusion of arguments by the
parties in the post-arrest bail petition, filed by the PML-N leader.

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) arrested Maryam Nawaz and her cousin Yousaf Abbas in connection with the case on August 8.

An accountability court on September 25 sent the PML-N vice president and her cousin to jail on judicial remand by rejecting NAB’s request for extension in their physical remand which they underwent for 48 days.
