The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Wednesday challenged the bail granted to former principal secretary to the deposed prime minister, Fawad Hassan Fawad in assets case. On January 21, the Lahore High Court (LHC) had granted bail to Fawad Hassan Fawad in the assets case. The court had ordered Fawad to submit Rs. 10 million surety bond in court for his bail.
The NAB in its plea stated that the LHC had passed judgment in the case by neglecting the facts, the properties under name of accused and his relatives are expensive as compared to his known sources of income. The SC has been pleaded to nullify the LHC’s judgment. In his bail petition to the court Fawad had said, “I have no personal home except the government residence.” “I am imprisoned in jail for last one-and-half year without any crime,” he said.—INP
