The session court has approved the bail of Shahrukh Jatoi and three other defendants in the Shahzeb Khan murder case.
The session court ordered the defendants to submit surety bonds of Rs 0.5 million each.
Jatoi was also granted bail in the illegal weapon possession case registered against him on a surety bond of Rs0.1 million.
Aurangzeb Khan, the father of late Shahzeb Khan, had earlier today filed an affidavit in support of the defendant’s bail application in the court.
Aurangzeb Khan stated in his affidavit that with the consent of his family members, he has reached a compromise with the family of the convicts and has pardoned the murder of his son in the name of God, hence he has no objection on the bail plea of convicts.
The court has announced to give its decision on the bail plea of convicts today.
Jatoi appealed against the death sentence handed to him before a two-member bench of the Sindh High Court.
