LAHORE, (MANEND NEWS): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader Sardar Jahangir Khan Tareen and
his son Ali Khan Tareen were on Saturday granted interim bails in three cases – two by Sessions Court
and one by Banking Court in Lahore.
Jahangir Tareen and Ali Tareen appeared before the Sessions Court in two cases pertaining to money
laundering through sugar mills. Their counsel requested the court to grant bail for a longer period owing
to the coronavirus situation.
The lawyer maintained that the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had summoned his clients on Friday
and is likely to call them to its office again. Additional Sessions Judge Hamid Hussain inquired from the
FIA whether it had any objection over the request, to which the investigation agency replied in negative.
The court granted interim bails to Tareens till April 22. Furthermore, the judge ordered the FIA to keep
the investigation transparent and to include all suspects in the interrogation.
The Banking Court then conducted hearing on fake bank accounts case against Jahangir Tareen and Ali
Tareen. The FIA raised objection over the court’s jurisdiction. The court ordered all parties to argue over
the matter of its authority in the next hearing while granting interim bails to the suspects till April 17.
