LAHORE (Dunya News) – Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday has wrapped up the interim bail plea filed by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vice president Maryam Nawaz in a case pertaining to illegal transfer of 180 acres of land in Raiwind. A two-member bench has conducted hearing on the case during which, the court has directed the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to inform the PML-N leader 10 days prior to arresting her. Meanwhile, Maryam Nawaz has adopted the stance that NAB wants to arrest her on the pressure of the government. Later, while talking to media after appearing before the court, Maryam Nawaz claimed that Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan’s power and government both are coming to their end. Daska people have retrieved their seat from looters, she added. Earlier, the NAB spokesperson told that Sharif family was accused of illegally acquiring over 3000 kanals of land in 2013 and of changing the Lahore Master Plan in 2015 with the help of the then DCO Noorul Amin Mengal and LDA DG Ahad Khan Cheema.

It further alleged that Sharif family, with the connivance of officials, got thousands of kanals in Jati Umrah declared as green land.

Let it be known that Maryam Nawaz was previously summoned by the anti-graft body on August 11, 2020 in the illegal land transfer case but the hearing was adjourned after a clash erupted between the PML-N workers and police.
