The Lahore High Court on Wednesday allowed interim pre-arrest bail to Rana Sanaullah Khan in an inquiry of alleged assets beyond means by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

Rana Sana a sitting MNA and former law minister through his counsel stated that the petitioner had hardly reached home after getting bail in a 'fabricated' drug case when he started receiving call-up notices from the NAB to appear before its combine investigation (CIT) team to explain his assets.

He said the petitioner appeared before the CIT whenever he was summoned and informed the investigators that all his assets had already been scrutinized and frozen by Anti-Narcotics Force in the drug case.

He submitted that the petitioner extended his full cooperation to the CIT and asked it to furnish any nexus of corruption with his assets. However, he claimed, not an iota of evidence could be presented to the petitioner by the NAB.

He also argued that the NAB chairman and his officials were not competent to assume jurisdiction in view of the pendency of proceedings in the drug case before a special court.

He said there was possibility that the NAB will arrest the petitioner at the behest of the government. Therefore, he said, the petitioner be granted pre-arrest bail.

Talking to media outside the court, Rana Sana said the NAB had been used for political victimization of opposition.

He said the government was not capable to bring the country out of the crises and added that midterm election had become crucial to save the country from the incompetents.

He also regretted that the whole government was stuck in the health matter of Nawaz Sharif.
