Karachi
The PPP leader, Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah on Wednesday approached the Supreme Court seeking his release on bail in a case pertaining to alleged accumulation of assets beyond known sources of income. The former opposition leader filed a bail petition in the apex court’s Karachi registry through his counsel Senator Mian Raza Rabbani. He moved the top court after the Sindh High Court circuit bench Sukkur turned down his plea for post-arrest bail. He stated in his petition that the corruption watchdog has so far failed to produce corroborative evidence against him. Assailing the SHC’s verdict on his bail application, he argued the high court failed to take into account certain facts presented before it in his favour.—INP
