The Supreme Court of Pakistan Thursday accepted PPP leader Khursheed Shah's bail plea in the assets beyond known sources of income case. 

The apex court directed Shah to submit bail bonds worth Rs10mn as the surety against his bail.

Justice Umar Atta Bandial directed NAB to continue its investigations but not keep the PPP leader permanently in jail.

Shah was arrested by the anti-corruption watchdog’s Sukkur chapter on September 18, 2019, in the assets beyond known sources of income case. 

Back in July 2021, the Sindh High Court had dismissed a petition seeking Shah's request for bail.
