The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has challenged the decision to grant bail to former prime minister Imran Khan in the £190 million reference case.
The appeal was filed in the Supreme Court by the NAB chairman, arguing that the Islamabad High Court's decision to grant bail ignored key facts.
The Islamabad High Court had approved bail for Imran Khan on May 15, setting a bond of RS 1 million.
NAB contends that the High Court's decision was legally flawed and has requested the Supreme Court to nullify it.
In its appeal, NAB stated that the decision to grant bail overlooked crucial facts.
The anti-corruption watchdog originally dismissed Khan's bail plea, prompting him to seek relief from the High Court.
Now, NAB is urging the Supreme Court to overturn this decision.
