A single bench of IHC comprising Justice Aamer Farooq conducted hearing of Shaukat Mukadam’s petition and issued notices in the petition challenging the bail granted to Therapy Works CEO and employees.  Earlier, Additional District and Sessions Judge (ASJ) Muhammad Ata Rabbani had granted bail to the six employees including Zahoor, Amjad Mehmood, Dileep Kumar, Abdul Haq, Wamiq Riaz and Samar Abbas and ordered them to submit bail bonds of Rs5 million each.
