ISLAMABAD: Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday has granted bail to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Khawaja Saad Rafique and his brother Khawaja Salman Rafique in Paragon Housing Society reference.
According to details, the bails were approved on two surety bonds worth Rs0.3 million each.
While talking to media after the hearing, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi suggested to shut NAB to run the country in a smooth way. SC has stated that law is being taken as a joke, he added.
On April 26, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Lahore had approved filing of a reference against the Khawaja brothers and Nadeem Zia for the alleged corruption.
Qaiser Amin Butt, the main accused in the case, was also included in the inquiry initiated by the NAB, and arrested in November last year. Later, he agreed to turn approver against the Khawaja brothers and Zia.
On December 11, 2018, Khawaja brothers were detained by the accountability watchdog after the Lahore High Court (LHC) rejected their bail plea.
