An anti-corruption court on Thursday dismissed post-arrest bail petitions of three Lahore Development Authority (LDA) officers, involved in giving approval to an illegal construction plan for a plaza.
Anti- Corruption Court Judge Ali Raza Awan heard the bail petitions of LDA Director Salman Mahfooz, LDA Deputy Director Tayyab Ali and LDA Assistant Director Inayat Ali.
The defence counsel argued before the court that the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) Punjab had nominated his clients in a baseless case. He pleaded with the court to grant post-arrest bail to them.
However, the ACE prosecutor requested the court to dismiss the bail petitions as solid evidence was available against the accused.
