The federal anti-corruption court had on Monday issued bailable warrants for Faheem’s arrest and five others co-accused in the corruption case.
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) was ordered to arrest the absconders and present them before the court on April 12, after which the former minister filed a petition for protective bail in the Sindh High Court.
The court case is based on a written complaint by the former secretary of the commerce ministry, sent to the FIA on November 16, 2010, alleging financial embezzlement in the purchase of land by the NICL.

Granting "bail" does not mean that the accused has been granted freedom to leave the country. Bailable warrants would automatically disallow international travel to Mr. Faheem. So what is the issue with trying him while he stays inside Pakistan, accessible for final arrest when found guilty by the courts?
We need a Shariah based Justice, which will put a sling around the necks of thieves, dacoits, rapists and those responsible for miscarriage of justice, like police, judges and politicians. Current Judges and Law Courts have to be disbanded as they no longer provide justice to the common man and are there to protect and provide relief to criminals and usurpers.
Completely cocked up justice system. Right hand orders arrest whereas the left hand grants bail. What is the purpose of both if not to frustrate the legal process. Judiciary has set such low standards for itself that their workings frustrate litigants who now desire a Shariah based justice system.
Hah... I thought the initial arrest warrant was non-bailable. Trust the Sindh HC to save their kin.
we knew this was going to happen. Superme court should cancel this bail
