LAHORE – Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif will soon be released on bail for six months after the Supreme Court accepted his petition on medical grounds on Tuesday.
A three-member bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Asif Saeed Khosa took up Nawaz Sharif’s appeal. Other judges in the bench included Justice Yahya Afridi and Justice Sajjad Ali Shah. A circular has also been issued regarding security measures at the apex court.
Twitter is reacting.
People are clearly not content with the decision.

People’s opinions of course matter a whole lot and they are extra sensitive when it comes to politics.
NAB has argued that Sharif wants to make the case that there is a threat to his life and he should be allowed to proceed abroad. It added that the former premier is being given all facilities for treatment.
