Islamabad (Web Desk): The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Friday moved the Supreme court (SC) against the post-arrest bail of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and former premier Imran Khan by the Islamabad High Court (IHC) in £190m corruption case.
NAB, in its plea, prayed the top court to set aside the verdict of IHC of May 14, granting bail to the PTI founder. It also requested the court to suspend the IHC’s judgment till the final decision into the appeal.
NAB took the plea that the IHC had used the powers of the trial court and did not view the facts completely. The IHC could not record the statements of witnesses like that of the trial court.
The petitioner raised nine questions over the grant of bail by the IHC, saying that a corruption reference was filed against the PTI founder under the NAB law and Constitution.
