| 2007-12-07 |
| An anti-terrorism court granted pre-arrest bail to PML-Nawaz President Shahbaz Sharif till December 8. Shahbaz surrendered before the court on Thursday and requested a grant of bail. The court accepted and granted him bail upon furnishing two bonds of Rs 50,000 each. ShahbazÂ’s counsel Imtiaz Kaifi told the court that the accused had wanted to appear in court before now but had been prevented by government officials. He said Shahbaz had come to Pakistan in 2004 to face the trial but was deported from the airport. He requested to grant Shahbaz concession of bail, which the court accepted. The case was lodged against Shahbaz on a complaint by Saeedud Din who alleged that his son Salahud Din and four others - Wakeel, Waseem, Haider and Abdur Rauf - had been killed in a police encounter. He also alleged that Shahbaz had directed the police to kill the boys. |
