ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has summoned Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarians (PPPP) President Asif Ali Zardari in a pre-arrest bail plea filed before it in a case pertaining to his alleged property unearthed by NAB in NewYork.
The division bench of the IHC comprising Chief Justice Athar Minallah and Justice Aamer Farooq heard the proceedings today on a pre-arrest bail plea sought by Asif Zardari.
The court asked if Zardari was seeking a pre-arrest bail plea, to which his counsel Farooq H Naek said that he was currently getting treatment in the hospital.
“He should be exempted from court proceedings,” the counsel argued as the court directed the PPPP president to appear before the IHC tomorrow and remarked that if he was given exemption then it could become an example for others.
It is pertinent to mention here that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has initiated a fresh inquiry against PPP co-chairman and former president Asif Ali Zardari.
