ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday granted pre-arrest bail to former president Asif Ali Zardari's close aide Amjad Ikhlaq in a NAB call-up notice. A division bench comprising Justice Mohsin Akhter Kiyani and Justice Fayyaz Ahmed Jandran granted bail against surety bonds worth Rs100,000.
