*LAHORE - The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday has announced the verdict in the petition seeking release of Shahbaz Sharif from NAB custody.*
*LHC dismissed a petition requesting the release of Shehbaz Sharif from the custody of National Accountability Bureau (NAB). *
During the hearing, Justice Ali Baqir Najfi remarked “every individual is free provided his freedom comes within the purview of law.”
The defense counsel of the petitioner argued that it was not justified to summon someone for an inquiry and then arrest him.
According to the petition, filed by Lawyers Foundation, Shehbaz Sharif was arrested without any proof as it was contrary to the constitutional values.
Shehbaz Sharif was taken into custody with incomplete proofs and without charges against him proved, it added. The plea said free and fair trial under the Constitution was the right of every citizen, adding that Sharif was called for an interrogation and the NAB’s decision to detain him was contrary to constitutional rights of a citizen.
