IHC grants interim bail to Sharjeel Memon
The court then confirmed Sharjeel Memons interim bail against surety bonds worth Rs1 Million
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Islamabad High Court (IHC) has approved Roshan Sindh program corruption case accused and former local government minister Sharjeel Memon’s interim bail.
Deputy Prosecutor General NAB Sardar Muzaffar Abbasi told the two-member division bench under Chief Justice IHC Justice Athar Minallah that initial inquiry against the accused started on January 6, 2016 in Karachi. A fresh inquiry was ordered on February 4, 2019 and in reply to a letter asking for the record, Sharjeel Memon failed to provide the required record with NAB’s questionnaire, he added.
The Chief Justice pointed out deficiencies in NAB’s prosecution and remarked that NAB had been unable to prosecute corrupt individuals owing to faulty practices and it should focus on convicting criminals instead of merely arresting them.
The court then confirmed Sharjeel Memon’s interim bail against previously submitted surety bonds worth Rs 1 Million.
