Prior to the tweet, it was revealed by Shah’s lawyer in the Sindh High Court during the hearing of his bail plea in a case related to illegal appointments.
Shah’s legal representative submitted the report before the court showing that his client is not in a position to appear before the court due to coronavirus. The court then extends the interim bail of Syed Qaim Ali Shah, Sharjeel Memon, and others until September 21.
The development takes place at a time when the South Eastern province has been reporting a surge in Covid cases owing to the spread of the mutated Delta variant.
The provincial authorities have also imposed a lockdown in the province till August 8 with fresh restrictions in place to stem the spread of the virus.
