Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s return was made possible on Thursday when an accountability court postponed his arrest warrant in the Toshakhana case and granted him protective bail in two graft charges. The leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) had applied for bail in the Al-Azizia and Avenfield cases to the Islamabad High Court (IHC), which had accepted the arguments and granted bail until October 24. After announcing the decision, the IHC barred the government from detaining Nawaz Sharif upon his arrival back in the nation on Saturday, October 21. The high court stated that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has not objected to the PML-N supremo’s request for protective bail in corruption cases.
