SC Orders Arrest Of Prisoners Released Over Coronavirus Fears By Lower Courts

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court ordered on Tuesday the arrest of all the under trial prisoners who were released on the orders of different high courts and district courts to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.

The top court overturned the judgement of the lower courts and declared the verdict on their release to be null and void.

The bail granted to people involved in corruption and drugs cases should be cancelled, the court said.

The court, however, approved the suggestions of the attorney general and streamlined the process of the release.
