The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday granted 10-day protective bail to former National Assembly speaker Asad Qaiser in the Swabi anti-corruption case, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
The court stopped the anti-corruption authorities from arresting Asad Qaiser for 10 days, ordering the latter to submit Rs50,000 worth of surety bonds.
The court also ordered Asad Qaiser to join the investigation and appear before the court concerned.
“If you were not available on Friday last, the petitioner should have come,” the court said to Asad Qaiser’s lawyer.
“The associated lawyer had come, but he could not inform the court properly,” Sher Afzal Marwat Advocate told the court.
Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri had heard the case. He disposed of the plea by granting 10-day protective bail to Asad Qaiser.
It is to be noted here that the court dismissed Asad Qaiser’s bail plea over non-compliance on Friday last.
