A three-member Supreme Court (SC) bench granted bail to former Lal Masjid chief cleric Abdul Aziz in the last of over two dozen cases against him on Wednesday.Aziz -- who was arrested during the Lal Masjid operation as he tried to sneak out of the mosque dressed in an all-covering burqa -- will be freed within two or three days, according to his lawyer Shaukat Siddiqui.
The bench, consisting of Justice Javed Iqbal, Justice Sarmad Jalal Osmany and Justice Zahid Hussain -- observed that Aziz deserved bail because there was insufficient material on record against him in the Occupation of Children's Library case.
