SUKKUR: The Sindh High Court (SHC), Sukkur Bench, on Wednesday adjourned hearing of a case against PPP’s MNA Syed Khursheed Shah over his prolonged stay at the NICVD for his alleged treatment.
The petition against the PPP MNA was filed by PTI leader Syed Tahir Shah. The reports said on the request of defence counsel, the SHC Sukkur Bench had accepted the application and adjourned the case till August 4.
Talking to media persons, the PTI leader said he had filed a petition against Khursheed Shah for prolonging his stay at NICVD, asking the Sindh government how many other criminals with corruption references of billions of rupees were provided such luxurious detention in the past two years. He also asked the Sindh government to disclose Shah’s diseases and treatments.
He said the SHC on Tuesday rejected Khursheed Shah’s bail plea, expressing surprise over the facilities being provided to him in the sub-jail. The court also observed how could the bail plea of a person be approved who did not spend a day in jail, giving its ruling that Shah had been living in sub-jail, which has put a question mark over the system. Meanwhile, IG Prisons Sindh Qazi Nazir, NICVD officials and NAB representatives also appeared before the court.
