ISLAMABAD - The Islamabad High Court on Monday rejected a petition seeking release of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif on bail on medical grounds.
An IHC bench comprising Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani announced the 9-page short order in the open court, saying bail could not be given on medical grounds.
The court order discussed PPP leader Sharjeel Memon's case, in which bail on medical grounds was refused.
The verdict also went into details of cases — including the Talat Ishaq case and Qaim Ali Shah case — in which the courts have considered exceptional circumstances for release of convicts.
