KARACHI: An anti-corruption court on Wednesday issued a bailable warrant for the arrest of Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah’s daughter, Naheed Durrani, in an import-export fraud case lodged back in 1989.

The judge of the Special Federal Anti-Corruption Court Central-II, Tasneem Sultana, issued the bailable warrant of Rs5,000 for her arrest and directed the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to present her on the next hearing.

Following the investigations, the FIA had included Durrani as a witness in the charge sheet submitted before the court. The court issued the warrant after Durrani failed to appear before the court in the case despite several notices.

Durrani has previously served as secretary of education, finance and planning and development for the Sindh government.

Why these cases against politicians are kept for quarter of a century and never concluded? While these cases rot in lower courts the PCO SC takes suo motu cases with 19 judges bench as if they have no case load. Justice delayed is justice denied.

@Ahmed:

Surely, the rich get away easily with meager Rs 5000 surety for a bail bond ??? what a joke for NAB??

has it been an ordinary man, the NAB would have killed him to appear before the court.
