IHC accepts the plea on medical grounds; restrains NAB from arresting the PPP co-chair
ISLAMABAD:
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has granted a permanent bail to former president Asif Ali Zardari in the fake accounts case and stopped the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) – the country’s top graft buster – from arresting him.
An IHC division, comprising Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani and Justice Aamer Farooq, granted the bail to the PPP supreme leader on Wednesday on medical grounds. NAB chairman had issued Zardari’s arrest warrants in the case.
Earlier, NAB Deputy Prosecutor General Sardar Muzaffar Abbasi told the court that the matter was still at the stage of investigation and that the anti-graft watchdog had not yet filed reference against Zardari. He said NAB had not challenged the bails earlier granted to the former president in other graft cases.
