The Supreme Court (SC) on Monday sought the stance of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on the bail application of Allah Dino Bhayo – former Sindh Assembly member accused of being involved in embezzlement of millions of rupees. A three-member bench of the SC headed by Justice Mushir Alam heard the case. Bhayo’s counsel maintained despite the passage of one year, no witness had been presented in the case. “The NAB again and again sought time in the trial. If time is granted for trial, we will not push for the [bail] application,” he said. He agreed even if the court granted his client conditional bail. Justice Alam replied it was not appropriate to listen to the counsel without issuing a notice to the respondent.
