Shehbaz's exemption plea filed as NAB court hears Ramzan Mills case

LAHORE (Dunya News) – Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president and opposition leader in National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday has filed an exemption plea in accountability court in Ramzan Sugar Mills case.

According to details, opposition leader in Punjab Assembly Hamza Shahbaz has appeared before the court for the hearing.

During the proceedings, Shehbaz Sharif’s lawyer told the judge that his client’s coronavirus test is still positive that’s why he is unable to attend the hearing.

Lahore High Court (LHC) has already approved the exemption plea of PML-N president, he added.

It has been alleged that a drain was constructed out of public money in Chiniot to facilitate the Ramzan Sugar Mills when Shehbaz Sharif, the co-accused in the case, was Punjab’s chief minister.

Hamza Shahbaz has been charged in the case as he is the chief executive of the Ramzan Sugar Mills.
