Maryam Nawaz’s release orders issued

LAHORE:  Jail authorities on  Wednesday issued  release orders for Maryam Nawaz after her lawyers fulfilled bail  requirements.

According to Geo News, Kot Lakhpat Jail officials have issued the release orders that have now been sent to  Services Hospital for signatures.  

A division of the Lahore High Court headed by Justice Ali Baqar Najafi had granted her bail on Monday.

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) prosecutor opposed the plea that sought bail for the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader.

She had filed the application after her father and three-time former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was hospitalized in critical condition.

Nawaz Sharif, who had been serving a jail term in Al-Azizia reference case, was also given bail by a bench of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on humanitarian grounds last month.

LHC asked Maryam Nawaz to submit her passport to satisfy “judicial conscience” as prosecution expressed apprehension she would flee the country.

The court also asked her to submit two surety bonds of Rs10 million each and deposit Rs70 million with Deputy Registrar .

The NAB had arrested Maryam on August 8 along with her cousin Yousuf Abbas in Chaudhry Sugar Mills case.
