KARACHI: The Sindh High Court on Friday granted pre-arrest bail to Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Sharjeel Memon and ordered to National Accountability Bureau (NAB) not to arrest him during the inquiry which is being conducted against him.
Memon had filed for pre-arrest bail petition in the Sindh High Court (SHC), fearing his arrest after opening new inquiries against him by the Bureau.
Memon, in his petition, stated that two references are already under proceedings against him and it came into his knowledge that the anti-corruption watchdog is now holding a secret inquiry. The petition read that the petitioner has no details regarding the latest inquiry.
The PPP leader sought SHC to order 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 records of the secret inquiry in the next hearing.
Later, the court approved his bail petition and ordered concerned authorities not to arrest Memon until January 24.
