| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan granted bail to Ghulab Khan, who was accused of corruption as the Secretary of the Karachi Port Trust Officers Cooperative Housing Society. The court noted that all co-accused had been released on bail, and the evidence against Ghulab Khan did not suggest a more aggravated role in the alleged scam. The court emphasized the principle of consistency in granting bail to similarly situated individuals. The decision allowed Ghulab Khan to be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs. One Million with a surety. |
