On Monday, the production order of Hamza Shahbaz issued to attend the Punjab Assembly session.

According to the details, Punjab Assembly Speaker Pervez Elahi issued production order of opposition leader and PML-N member Hamza Shahbaz.

The order was issued to allow Hamza Shahbaz to participate in the assembly session.

Previous week, Supreme Court of Pakistan rejected the bail plea of Hamza Shahbaz in the money laundering case after the PML-N leader withdrew his application.

Hamza Shahbaz had approached the top court in April 2020, two months after the Lahore High Court (LHC) denied him bail in the money laundering case but granted it in the Ramzan Sugar Mills case.

Hamza then sought bail on the grounds of being vulnerable to coronavirus in jail but the LHC did not agree with the grounds. Following this, the counsel withdrew the application and moved the apex court.

Hamza Shahbaz is in National Accountability Bureau (NAB) custody in money laundering case. It may be added here that Hamza was arrested in June 2019 from inside the LHC in relation to two cases pertaining to money laundering and accumulating assets beyond means of income.

According to the anti-graft watch dog the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), Fazal Dad Abbasi and Muhammad Shoaib Qamar allegedly aided, abetted and facilitated their co-accused including Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif, Hamza Shahbaz Sharif etc by way of providing channel/services for laundering money by arranging false and fictitious entries of foreign remittances sent by various individuals to accused Hamza Shahbaz Shahirf, Suleman Shahbaz Sharif.
