PPP senior leader Makhdoom Shahabuddin on Wednesday filed an interim bail plea in the Lahore High Court (LHC) pertaining to the Ephedrine case. Makhdoom Shahabuddin’s counsel, Shah Khawar, filed the plea in the Rawalpindi Bench of LHC. The petitioner submitted in the application that issuance of arrest warrant against Makhdoom Shahabuddin before the election of prime minister was based on malafide intentions to bar the petitioner from appearing in the election.
Khawar said the court should accept the plea as there was no evidence against the petitioner in the case. The court would hear the bail plea of the petitioner today (Thursday).
