Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday extended interim bail of PML-N president and former chief Minister Punjab Shehbaz Sharif in assets beyond means case till July 7.
The bench directed him to furnish a surety bond of Rs500,000 to secure the bail until June 17.
A two-judge bench, headed by Justice Sardar Ahmed Naeem, directed him to get himself tested for the novel coronavirus at the Institute of Public Health on July 2.
Shehbaz’s lawyer moved a fresh application in the LHC, requesting it to grant his client exemption from personal appearance in today’s hearing due to the virus saying he is feeling symptoms of the highly contagious disease even after 14 days of being diagnosed with it.
