Interim bail of Jam Khan Shoro extended till Mar 19 in NAB inquires
KARACHI (92 News) – The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Thursday extended the interim bail of Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) Jam Khan Shoro till the March 19 in the National Accountability Bureaus inquires.
A two-judge bench headed by SHC Chief Justice Ahmed Ali M Sheikh approved bail for the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader against a surety of Rs500,000. The SHC granted interim bail to Jam Khan Shoro in connection with an inquiry being carried out against him by the NAB.
Jam Shoro’s lawyer contended before the bench that the bureau wanted to arrest his client. However, he didn’t provide details of the inquiry which he claimed could result in his client’s arrest and demanded that the PPP leader be granted protective bail.
Meanwhile, the same bench rejected the former local government minister’s plea for protective bail in yet another case and issued notice to the bureau seeking its reply on the next hearing on March 29. Separately, the court extended the interim bail granted to him in a NAB inquiry related to allotment of land in Karachi’s Gulistan-e-Jauhar.
