TARIQ AHMED VS NATIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY BUREAU S. 9---Constitution of Pakistan, Art. 199---Corruption and corrupt practices---Pre-arrest/post-arrest bails---Petitioners, who were arrayed as accused persons in different National Accountability Bureau (NAB) references, were admitted to bails, both anticipatory as well as post arrest by the High Court in different Constitutional petitions, allowed in lieu of deposit of amounts allegedly embezzled by the each petitioner---Supreme Court observed that such wholesale treatment of motions seeking bails, pre-arrest as well as post arrest, in an omnibus manner, in isolation to the distinct facts and circumstances of each case as well as different legal regimes applicable thereto, could not be approved---Petitions for leave to appeal were converted into appeals and allowed; impugned orders of the High Court were set-aside and bail petitions filed by the petitioners before the High Court of Sindh were remitted with the directions that the same shall be deemed as pending for decisions afresh, and the petitioners on pre-arrest bail shall remain on ad-interim bail and they were to be notified by the Court for their appearance.
