LAHORE: An accountability court will resume the hearing of assets beyond means and offshore companies case against former Punjab minister Aleem Khan on Monday (today).

On May 15, the Lahore High Court (LHC) had granted bail to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Aleem Khan in assets beyond means and offshore companies case.
A two-judge bench, headed by Justice Ali Baqar Najafi, had approved the bail of the PTI leader against a surety bond of Rs1 million. The court ordered his release if his custody was not required in any other case.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had taken the former Punjab senior minister into custody on Feb 7 after he reportedly failed to satisfy the bureau’s officials about sources of his income in connection with his offshore companies.
