A division bench of the Lahore High Court in Rawalpindi on Monday extended the interim bail for Ali Musa Gilani, son of former premier Yousuf Raza Gilani, and former health minister Makhdoom Shahabuddin in the ephedrine quota case to Aug 13.
Musa Gilani and Makhdoom Shahab appeared before the LHC bench comprising Justice Syed Najamul Hassan and Justice Shahzad Ahmed Khan. Both Musa Gilani and Makhdoom Shahab had been on interim bail and had appeared before the bench for its extension. Earlier on July 30, the bench had directed Makhdoom Shahab and Musa Gilani to cooperate with the investigation team of the ANF, in connection with the controlled chemical ephedrine scam.
The court had warned both of them that their non-cooperation would result in the cancellation of their interim bail subsequently leading to their arrest by the ANF. Upon assurances by counsel of Makhdoom Shahab and Musa Gilani for joining the investigation, the court had extended their interim bail till Aug 6.
