KARACHI: The Sindh High Court dismissed on Tuesday a petition seeking post-arrest bail for veteran leader of the Pakistan Peoples Party Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah, in a case pertaining to accumulation of assets beyond known sources of income.
A two-member bench, comprising justices Shamsuddin Abbasi and Amjad Ali Sahito, passed this order on a second constitutional petition filed by Mr Shah seeking grant of bail after arrest, after the SHC’s Sukkur bench had dismissed a similar plea.
At the outset, the bench said that without prejudice to its earlier order of bail plea dismissal, they were taking into account the fresh grounds of hardship and delay in the trial mainly pressed and agitated before it by the petitioner.
