The Opposition Leader in the National Assembly and President of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Shahbaz Sharif was released from jail after nearly seven months on bail Friday.
According to media reports, after the Lahore High Court (LHC) issued Shahbaz Sharif’s bail order, his lawyer Azam Nazeer Tarar deposited surety bonds in the accountability court number 2. LHC issued his release orders after reviewing the bonds deposited by Sharif and after that he was allowed to leave prison.
A small number of Muslim League-Nawaz workers had gathered outside the prison to welcome their party president. The workers showered rose petals on car to show appreciation for the Opposition Leader in National Assembly.

The LHC had approved Shahbaz Sharif’s bail a day earlier and the bail was approved by the judges unanimously.
It is to be mentioned here that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had arrested Shahbaz Sharif in September 2020 after a bail plea he had filed was turned down and the interim bail was cancelled by the LHC.
