Peshawar
The Peshawar High Court (PHC) has extended bail before arrest of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader, Engineer Ameer Muqam till September 3, in charges of possessing assets beyond known means of income. Muqam’s counsel and the National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) prosecutor appeared before the court. At the outset of the hearing, the PML-N stalwart lawyer pleaded the court to extend bail before arrest of his client. Latter, the PHC extended bail before arrest of Muqam till September 3 and adjourned the hearing. The NAB has accused Muqam of purchasing properties in Islamabad, Lahore and Peshawar.—INP
