ISLAMABAD: Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday sought reply from National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on a bail plea filed by former PSO managing director Sheikh Imran ul Haq in LNG import agreement investigation.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice Athar Minallah and Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb conducted the hearing on the petition of Imranul Haq who was arrested by NAB in the above scam.
The petitioner said he was behind bars for the last 150 days but NAB could not file a reference against him. He prayed the court to grant him a post-arrest bail.
To this, the bench served notices to respondents and sought reply till November 26.
It may be mentioned here that former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and ex-finance minister Miftah Ismail had also been arrested in the same case by the NAB. During the last hearing in the accountability court, NAB had stated that it had prepared the corruption reference against the accused person which could be filed within two weeks.
