The bail order mystery
April 20, 2021
Problems with the judiciary took the fore over the weekend when a member of the two-judge bench that ‘granted’ Shehbaz Sharif bail said he never approved of the judgment. The story started midweek when Lahore High Court Justice Sarfraz Dogar issued a short order “unanimously” granting bail to the PML-N president. But a few days later, we learned that the other judge on the NAB appellate bench, Justice Asjad Javed Ghural, refused to sign the order and questioned the unanimity of the order, saying that his opinion was ignored.
Under the circumstances as described by Justice Ghural, the case should have been considered a split decision with no short order issued. The case has now been referred to a referee judge chosen by the LHC chief justice. The as-yet-unnamed referee judge will go through detailed judgments written by both justices and chose one, which will be the ‘winner’.

LAHORE: Release of Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly has been halted as written judgment in his bail matter in alleged money laundering reference yet has not been released by the Lahore High Court (LHC).
A two-judge bench of the Lahore High Court (LHC) comprising Justice Sardar Muhammad Sarfraz Dogar and Justice Asjad Javed Ghural on April 13 had granted bail to opposition leader and former Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, who was arrested in a money laundering case. However, the release order of Shahbaz Sharif could not be issued on Friday as the written decision of bail has not been issued yet, due to which the release on bail of Shahbaz Sharif has been postponed. According to the law, the release of the PML-N president is not possible till a written bail is issued after the signatures of the two judges in the two-member bench.
