Khurshid Shah withdraws bail plea from SC in assets case
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Khurshid Shah on Friday has withdrawn his bail plea from Supreme Court (SC) in assets case.
During the hearing, the court has disposed of the case on PPP leader’s petition withdrawal. However, Khurshid Shah can move high court over delay in hardship and trial.
It is to be mentioned here that National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had arrested senior PPP leader Syed Khursheed Shah in a case regarding his alleged assets beyond means.
"NAB Sukkur arrested Syed Khursheed Shah in the assets beyond means case," a brief handwritten statement issued by NAB Islamabad said.
Multiple corruption cases against Shah are under investigation with NAB. In 2012, an accountability court had directed NAB to file a reference against him on a complaint pertaining to alleged accumulation of illegitimate assets.
In 2013, NAB had reopened two corruption cases against Shah under the directives of the Lahore High Court.
