Alvi allowed to withdraw up to Rs1m

A constitutional bench of the Sindh High Court (SHC) has permitted former president Dr Arif Alvi to withdraw up to Rs1 million from his frozen bank accounts.

A two-member bench of the SHC, headed by Justice KK Agha, heard a petition challenging the freezing of the former president's bank accounts.

During the hearing, an investigation officer from Islamabad and National Cyber Crime Agency Director Waqar Ahmed appeared before court. Ahmed requested the court to grant additional time to submit the response.
