ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Court has approached Supreme Court against the bail granted to former adviser Dr Asim Hussain by the Sindh High Court.
According to NAB, the bail was given upon fake reports that Dr Asim got made despite the fact that the SHC referee judge had approved his plea. NAB requests SHC that the bail should be cancelled on these grounds.
On March 29, the SHC under Justice Aftab Ahmad Gorar approved the bail plea of Dr Asim in two corruption references that were filed against him by NAB.
Later, on the same day the anti-terrorism court issued release orders for Dr Asim as his lawyer, Anwar Mansoor Khan, informed the judges that his client required complete rest and medical treatment due to ill health.
While talking to media outside the accountability court Dr. Asim said that the Prime Minister was probed for only 72 hours by the Panama case JIT whereas his enquiry lasted for around three months.
He was present at the court for hearing of the corruption reference filed against him.
The court has adjourned the hearing on Jamshoro Joint Venture Limited till July 14. JJVL is the gas processor to which Dr Asim and others have been alleged to have provided illegal contracts of five gas field in Sindh.
