The NAB is expected to submit the arrest warrants in the court.
Justice Aamer Farooq has referred the matter to the chief justice of the high court.
Sharjeel Memon had earlier challenged the NAB probe into the Roshan Sindh corruption case on the basis of NAB Amendment Ordinance.
In his petition, Memon sought IHC to declare the probe null and void, as well as pleaded the high court to immediately stop further proceedings in the corruption case. In petition the former Sindh minister denied allegations against him.
NAB is holding an inquiry into complaints of massive corruption in the Roshan Sindh project initiated by the provincial government for the installation of solar streetlights across the province.
