SHC hears bail petition of Sindh's Chief Conservator Forest

KARACHI: A bench of Sindh High Court while hearing bail petition of Sindh’s Chief Conservator Forest Aijaz Ahmed Nizamani criticized the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) officers attitude in the case.

The high court bench headed by Chief Justice Ahmed Ali Sheikh, also comprising of Justice Omar Sial, heard the case.

“The NAB is a national institution why you people are acting in such a way,” the bench asked the officers.

“NAB officials should think if this happen with them,” the chief justice asked.
