ISLAMABAD:
The Supreme Court (SC) overturned on Wednesday the Sindh High Court s (SHC) verdict cancelling Sindh Assembly Speaker Agha Siraj Durrani s bail in the assets beyond means case.
During the hearing, the National Accountability Bureau s (NAB) prosecutor maintained that the provincial assembly speaker’s assets far exceeded his income.
A three-judge bench, headed by Justice Umar Ata Bandial, directed the SHC to reconsider its verdict within a period of two months. The SC also instructed the high court to decide the case in light of facts and evidence.
