ISLAMABAD, (APP – UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 12th May, 2026) The Supreme Court has granted bail to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s social media activist Haider Saeed following a hearing on Tuesday.
A two-member bench, comprising Justice Shahzad Ahmed Malik and Justice Aqeel Abbasi, heard the case and ordered the petitioner’s release against surety bonds worth Rs100,000. The decision came after the defense highlighted the length of the activist’s detention and alleged procedural lapses by the investigating agency.
During the proceedings, defense counsel Ali Bukhari argued that his client had remained in custody for the past 79 days and claimed that the Federal Investigation Agency had failed to fulfill the necessary legal requirements in the case.
Additional Attorney General Munawar Duggal opposed the bail application and requested the court to dismiss the plea. However, after hearing arguments from both sides, the bench decided to grant bail.
The ruling concludes the current bail proceedings and allows the activist to be released while the legal process continues.
