KARACHI: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader and MPA Sharjeel Inam Memon has been allowed to travel abroad by Sindh High Court (SHC) despite opposition from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Friday.
The Sindh High Court (SHC) has, however, linked its decision with the approval of the trial court besides also directing Sharjeel Memon to submit surety bonds of Rs 1 million.
“The 30-day abroad visit will begin the day he will get a nod from the trial court,” the court said as the NAB prosecutor opposed the decision fearing that the PPP leader won’t return.
The lawyer representing the PPP leader said that Sharjeel Memon’s daughter was studying abroad and he wanted to meet her. The NAB prosecutor said that the PPP leader was wanted in two NAB references besides having a pending inquiry against him relating to illegal recruitments.
