NAB moves Supreme Court against Abdul Ghani Majeed’s bail

ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Wednesday requested the Supreme Court to set aside the order of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) granting bail to Abdul Ghani Majeed, the prime accused in money laundering case

The anti-graft body filed an appeal in the apex court challenging the order of the IHC and prayed to set aside the order for being against the law.

On February 26, a divisional bench of IHC comprising Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb and Justice Fayyaz Ahmed Jandran had granted bail to Abdul Ghani Majeed on medical grounds against the surety bonds of Rs100 million in five corruption cases filed against him.

The court had orderedthat the bail was granted to Abdul Ghani Majeed solely on medical grounds, while the NAB can submit an application seeking ending of bail if the accused goes anywhere else apart from medical treatment.
