The surety bond was submitted in the court of AC Judge Amjad Nazir Chaudhri by advocate Amjad Pervez.  The court granted bail to Hamza in the Ramzan Sugar Mills case in 2020, but due to arrest in assets case the surety bond was not submitted by PML-N.

The court after verification of the surety bond issued release orders for Hamza Shahbaz.

On February 24, the court had approved the bail of Hamza Shahbaz Sharif after hearing arguments of his lawyers and the NAB prosecutor.
