LAHORE\u2014An accountability court in Lahore on Monday extended the judicial remand of Mir Shakeel-ur-Rahman, owner of Jang Group, in a graft case for 22 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with the former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Mir is facing a case of illegal land allotment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the National Accountability Bureau\u2019s reference, then chief minister of Punjab Nawaz Sharif allowed an exemption under which Rahman bought 54 one-kanal plots. This was, according to NAB, against the exemption policy in 1986.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keeping in view the SOPs for COVID-19, Rahman was not presented in the court. Duty Judge Jawadul Hasan extended the judicial remand for 22 days and ordered the presence of Rahman on July 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NAB arrested Rahman on March 12 this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
