SC issues notices in NAB appeals in Agha Siraj assets case.

ISLAMABAD -- The Supreme Court of Pakistan yesterday issued notices to the respondents in the appeals of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) seeking cancellation of bails to Speaker Sindh Assembly Agha Siraj Khan Durrani and others in a corruption case.

A three-member bench of the apex court headed by Justice Umar Ata Bandial conducted hearing of the appeals against Durrani's bail in the assets beyond means case.

The NAB alleged that Agha Siraj Durrani had accumulated assets worth Rs 1.6 billion along with other co-accused who are his family members. The special prosecutor general argued that Siraj Durrani and his family could not provide a satisfactory reply about their assets.

NAB had arrested Durrani in February, 2019, in Islamabad. It later filed a reference against him regarding accumulation of assets worth over Rs1.61 billion through illegal means.
