The court also ordered Dar to submit surety bonds within three days, adding that in case of failure, the authorities would seize his assets. As the hearing began, Dar’s counsel submitted his client’s fresh medical report in the court, requesting for delaying his declaration as a PO. According to the medical report, Dar was suffering from chest pain and a minor issue in a coronary artery. Later, after a period of 10 days (instead of the usual 30), the court decided to begin the process of declaring Dar a proclaimed offender. The government also withdrew the portfolio of finance minister from Ishaq Dar.
