This happened late at night on Friday. The Islamabad High Court, led by Chief Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri, granted bail to Fawad Chaudhry on April 1. This Decision was made in Connection to a case from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) concerning land in Jhelum.

Fawad Chaudhry’s lawyer, Qasir Imam, argued in court that his client was accused of taking a bribe of Rs 5 million from a citizen. The accusation claims that Fawad Chaudhry promised a job to the person who bribed him.. However, Qasir Imam mentioned that he had never even seen this person who filed the complaint leading to an FIR against Fawad Chaudhry.
