LAHORE:
A Lahore High Court (LHC) division bench adjourned hearing of bail petitions, filed by former railways minister Khawaja Saad Rafique and his brother former provincial minister Khawaja Salman Rafique, in Paragon City scam till May 29. The division bench, headed by Justice Ali Baqar Najafi, heard the post-arrest bail petitions, filed by the Khawaja brothers. At the outset of the proceedings, National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) prosecutor submitted a detailed reply and record in the court. He argued that investigation had been completed from Khawaja brothers, in response to a court query. He further argued that investigation report would be filed in the trial court within next two, three days, while a reference had been sent to the chairman for approval. However, the defence counsel argued that all allegations leveled against his clients were baseless.
