Chaudhry Sugar Mills case: Maryam Nawaz files bail plea in LHC

LAHORE (Dunya News) – Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vice president Maryam Nawaz on Thursday has filed bail plea in Lahore High Court (LHC) in Chaudhry Sugar Mills case.

According to details, the petition was filed by Amjad Pervez and Azam Nazeer on the behalf of PML-N leader who has requested the court to release her on bail as her father (ex-Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif) is unwell and undergoing medical treatment at Lahore’s Services Hospital.

On Wednesday night, Maryam Nawaz was shifted to Kot Lakhpat Jail after meeting her ailing father Nawaz Sharif at Services Hospital. Maryam Nawaz was also shifted to a room adjacent to her father’s ward. 

On August 8, National Accountability Bureau (NAB) team had detained Maryam Nawaz outside the Kot Lakhpat Jail in Lahore for skipping appearance in Chaudhry Sugar Mills due to meeting with her father Nawaz Sharif.
