*ISLAMABAD - The Lahore High Court on Tuesday has announced verdict in the bail plea of Hamza Shahbaz Sharif.*
*LHC extended interim bail of Hamza Shehbaz, son of former chief minister Punjab Shehbaz Sharif, until November 20 in a case pertaining to accumulation of assets beyond known sources of income, ARY News reported.*
Hamza had approached the LHC seeking extension in his interim bail to avoid possible arrest amid the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) investigation.
The PML-N leader had also requested the court that the case proceedings may also be deferred because his lawyer, Nazir Tarar, was going abroad to attend a conference.
During the last hearing at NAB on Nov 9, the anti-graft body had sent summons to Hamza Shehbaz and his brother Salman Shehbaz to present them self before the bureau, however, Salman did not appear as he was currently in London.
