LAHORE (Dunya News) – The Lahore High Court (LHC) has on Thursday rejected the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) plea to stop Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice-president Maryam Nawaz from coming to its office in the form of a rally.
The anti-graft body had moved the court in order to stop the PML-N leader from bringing her party workers at the NAB Lahore office where she has been summoned on March 26 for investigation in cases pertaining to Chaudhry Sugar Mills and illegal land transfer.
The court said in its remarks that every citizen is bound to follow the law which will come into force if any violation is committed by any individual.
Let it be known that the LHC had on Wednesday (yesterday) approved Maryam Nawaz’s interim bail till April 12 and barred the NAB from arresting her.
Earlier, the Punjab government had approved the NAB request to declare its Lahore office as red zone on March 25 and 26 due to Maryam Nawaz’s hearing.
The provincial regime approved to appoint Rangers and police around the accountability bureau office, and a letter had been written to the Ministry of Interior seeking the Rangers’ services in this regard.
