KARACHI: Justice Aftab Ahmed Gorar, the referee judge appointed to decide the bail plea of Dr Asim Hussain, a PPP leader and close aide of former president Asif Zardari, directed the National Accountability Bureau to put forward arguments on the matter on March 20.
On Monday, Dr Asim’s counsel, Barrister Latif Khosa, concluded his arguments and prayed to the court to grant his client bail.
He said that the life of his client would be in danger if he was not released on medical grounds. The counsel also pointed out that all others arrested and accused have been given bail.
Dr Asim was facing corruption charges for allegedly depriving the public exchequer of Rs 462 million by misusing his authority to get land allotted illegally, encroaching upon state land for the expansion of Dr Ziauddin Hospital, money laundering and receiving kickbacks.
The PPP leader, who has been behind bars since August 08, 2015, had filed the applications through his counsel seeking bail in the cases.
