Lahore High Court on Friday reserved its verdict on a bail application filed by former Lahore Electric Supply Company chief Arshad Rafique. A single bench of the LHC, comprising Justice Muhammad Qasim Khan, heard the matter.
Earlier, the petitioner’s counsel said that the Federal Investigation Agency had registered a case against the petitioner regarding illegal assets. He said the case was baseless as no evidence was found against the petitioner. He said the FIA had alleged that Khan had bought property with money obtained through fraudulent activities, when in fact, he had inherited the land. The counsel requested the court to grant Khan bail. The FIA’s lawyer said that Khan had assets beyond his means. He requested the court to dismiss the plea.
