ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday confirmed the bail of former president Asif Ali Zardari in a case pertaining to suspicious transactions from Bahria Town accounts to fake bank accounts.
A division bench comprising Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani granted the post-arrest bail on medical grounds after the commission, which had been constituted last month to evaluate health condition of the ex-president, filed its report.
The court had earlier granted interim bail to Mr Zardari, who had applied for bail before arrest in June 2018, but the petition was never fixed for hearing afterwards until September 2020.

Pakistani millionaires are snapping up real estate in the impoverished city of Gwadar in response to China’s multibillion-dollar investments that aim to transform the coastal area of Pakistan’s southwestern Balochistan Province into a commercial hub and a lynchpin of Beijing’s footprint in the region.
But for those who live in Gwadar, the investments have brought few benefits to daily life. Amid a series of heightened security measures aimed at protecting the projects and investments associated with the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), locals say they are being pushed out of the city and away from the potential economic windfall of its strategic coastal location on the Arabian Sea.
