The Supreme Court (SC) has cancelled the bail granted by different high courts in seven cases to former EOBI chairman Zafar Gondal, in the EOBI land sale scam.
The Lahore High Court had granted him bail in six cases, while the Islamabad High Court had accepted his bail plea in one case.
A two-member bench of SC presided over by Justice Ejaz Chaudhry took up the case for hearing Tuesday.
Justice Ejaz Chaudhry remarked that with respect to the decision of the Islamabad high court, it was not the job of high court to put to anyone on trial. “We categorically reject its decision while we set aside the decision of the Lahore High Court. We are referring these cases again to them and they should review them afresh and decide about bail applications,” he said.
The court further remarked that the cases be decided as soon as possible in the light of law and constitution.
