KARACHI, Dec 18: The Supreme Court on Monday rejected the Sindh government’s appeal against the grant of bail to the estranged brother of federal minister Sardar Yar Mohammad Rind by the Sindh High Court.

Contesting the petition for leave to appeal, accused Sher Mohammad Rind’s counsel Raja Qureshi said that his client was being embroiled in one criminal case after another because of a civil dispute with his brother over ancestral property, including 1,200 acres land in Sindh and Balochistan.

He said that he was detained in the Central Prison Karachi in a case. The SC bench comprising Justices Rana Bhagwandas, Hamid Ali Mirza and Saiyed Saeed Ashhad declined to interfere with the high court’s bail order.
