Khursheed Shah gets bail in assets beyond means case

Khursheed Shah was granted bail by SC in assets beyond means case on Thursday.

Supreme Court of Pakistan accepted PPP leader Khursheed Shah’s bail plea in the assets beyond known sources of income case against surety bonds worth Rs10mn.

Justice Umar Atta Bandial has directed NAB to continue its investigations but not keep the PPP leader permanently in jail.

Khursheed Shah was arrested by the anti-corruption watchdog’s Sukkur chapter in the assets beyond known sources of income case on September 18, 2019.

The Sindh High Court had dismissed a petition seeking Shah’s request for bail back in July 2021.
