Sharjeel Memon secures pre-arrest bail from SHC

Author: inp

The Sindh High Court on Friday granted pre-arrest bail to Pakistan People’s Party leader and former Sindh minister Sharjeel Memon and ordered the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) authority not to arrest him during inquiry being conducted against him.

Sharjeel Memon filed the pre-arrest bail petition in the Sindh High Court (SHC), fearing his arrest after opening new inquiries against him by the NAB.

Sharjeel Memon, in his petition, stated that two references were already under proceedings against him and it came to his knowledge that the anti-corruption watchdog was now holding a secret inquiry. The petition read that the petitioner had no details regarding the latest inquiry.

The PPP leader urged the SHC to order the NAB for providing the details of the inquiries, and stop the authorities from arresting him in the next hearing. He also pleaded the SHC to get record of the secret inquiry in the next hearing.

Later, the court approved his bail petition and ordered the authorities concerned not to arrest Memon until January 24.
