Roshan Sindh programme case: IHC defers hearing in pre-arrest bail plea of Sharjeel

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Tuesday deferred hearing in pre-arrest bail plea of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Sharjeel Memon in the Roshan Sindh Program case.

A division bench of IHC comprising Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Lubna Saleem Pervaiz conducted hearing of the petition wherein it had already given Memon interim pre-arrest bail.

Memon along with his counsel Latif Khosa appeared before the court while Deputy Prosecutor General NAB Sardar Muzaffar Abbasi and NAB investigation officer were also present in the court.

Memon filed another application for submission of additional documents in this matter while his counsel Khosa contended before the court that NAB could not conduct investigations against his client.

His counsel pleaded before the court that NAB has given a questionnaire to his client for submitting a written reply in the matter before January 10.

Later, the court adjourned hearing in this matter till January 20 for further proceedings.

The NAB is holding an inquiry into complaints of massive corruption in the Roshan Sindh project initiated by the provincial government for the installation of solar streetlights across the province.
