Zardari seeks 1-day exemption from IHC

The former president Asif Ali Zardari yesterday filed an application to Islamabad High Court (IHC) seeking one-day exemption from hearing in his pre-arrest bail case fixed for today.

The petitioner said that he was unable to appear in person before the court due to illness. The medical reports of Ziauddin Hospital were also attached with the application.

The court had granted prearrest bail to former president against surety bonds worth Rs0.5 million (Dh11,000) after National Accountability Bureau (NAB) served call up notice to him regarding probe of his flat in NY.
