IHC Bars FIA from Arresting Najaf Hameed, Suspends Cancellation of Bail

Islamabad: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Saturday barred the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) from arresting Najaf Hameed, brother of former spymaster Faiz Hameed, in a fraud case, while also suspending the decision of a special judge central to cancel his pre-arrest bail, reported 24NewsHD TV.

The FIA had filed an application seeking the cancellation of Najaf’s bail, which was initially accepted by the trial court. In response, Najaf approached the IHC challenging the cancellation of his bail.
