LHC extends judicial remand of Hamesh Khan

LAHORE: The Lahore High Court adjourned the hearings of Hamesh Khan for two weeks on Wednesday. Khan is the main accused in Punjab Bank scandal.

Khan’s lawyers filed a bail application in the Lahore High Court, claiming that there were still no proofs against their client, despite him being in physical remand since the past 90 days.

Answering the application, Chief Justice Lahore High Court, Khawaja Muhammad Sharif said that Hamesh Khan had been in exile since many years and asked why he was in a rush for bail.

The LHC also dismissed another application which was filed by Khan’s lawyers who were requesting to transfer the case to another bench.
