The medical panel also recommended a few medicines to the former PM. The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz president has been advised complete rest due angina ache.

Former PM Sharif was granted bail on March 26 by the Supreme Court for six weeks on medical grounds.

Headed by the chief justice, a three-judge of the SC took up the petition of the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) supreme leader challenging the Islamabad High Court’s verdict dismissing his bail application on medical grounds.

Announcing the short verdict, the CJP directed the former premier be granted bail for six weeks against surety bonds amounting to Rs 5 million each.

The court further said that Nawaz’s bail can be extended. If needed, the high court can be approached for an extension in the bail term, the court stated. The bench had earlier reserved the verdict after hearing arguments of Sharif’s lawyer Khawaja Haris and National Accountability Bureau (NAB) prosecutor.

“Nawaz Sharif has been suffering from these diseases for the past 17 years. Nevertheless, he has lived an active life,” CJP Khosa remarked, while hearing the petition.
