ISLAMABAD \u2013 The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday ordered the relevant authorities to immediatey release former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry in a case related to land in Jhelum Pind Dadan Khan project<\/p>\n

A IHC division bench headed by Chief Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Tariq Mahmood Jahangiri passed the order on bail plea of the former leader.<\/p>\n

During the hearing, Advocate Qaisar Imam represented Fawad Chaudhary and argued that the arrest warrants were issued on December 18, 2023, and the five allegations were leveled against Fawad Chaudhry.<\/p>\n

He argued that his client was accused of using the political influence in the project.<\/p>\n

On it, NAB prosecutor Rafay Maqsood said, \u201cWe have a witness who says that Fawad Chaudhry took a bribe of fifty lakh rupees.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chief Justice Aamer Farooq remarked, \u201cHow does fifty lakh rupees fall under NAB\u2019s jurisdiction?\u201d.<\/p>\n

In response, NAB prosecutor said, \u201cThe case is still in the inquiry stage, further details are being obtained, all the relevant institutions including FIA are informed,\u201d.<\/p>\n

Expressing dismay over this, Chief Justice Aamer Farooq remarked, \u201cDid NAB write later for evidence and arrest the person first? What are the central evidences against Fawad Chaudhry with NAB?\u201d.<\/p>\n

The NAB prosecutor referred to the decisions of the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

However, CJ Farooq remarked, \u201cLeave it, first tell us the evidence,\u201d.<\/p>\n

Later, the court granted bail to Fawad Chaudhry and ordered his immediate release.<\/p>\n
