KARACHI: An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on Saturday granted bail to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Haleem Adil Sheikh in a land grabbing case.
PTI leader Haleem Adil Sheikh appeared before the court in the land grabbing case. The PTI leader’s counsel presented arguments on the bail plea in the ATC. He said that the PTI leader wants to face the court in this case so the court is requested to accept the bail plea.
At this, the court granted bail to the leader of opposition in the Sindh Assembly.
Earlier, the Sindh High Court (SHC) barred police, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), and Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) from taking any ‘illegal’ action against PTI leader and Opposition Leader in Sindh Assembly Haleem Adil Sheikh.
The land grabbing case was registered against Haleem Adil in Anti-Encroachment police station Zone 2.
According to the complaint, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader along with three other persons illegally occupied 40 acres of public land in the Northern Bypass area of Karachi.
According to the ACE officials, Haleem Adil is allegedly not joining the investigation and despite repetitive notices, he failed to appear before the ACE.
