A court has approved bail of former Faisalabad Electric Supply Company (FESCO) chairman Malik Tahseen Awan in an online fraud case, ordering his release against surety bonds worth Rs100,000.
He will, however, appear before the court on August 18 in connection with other pending cases.
District and Sessions Judge Muhammad Iqbal Harl heard the case registered at FIA police station, where Awan was on 14-day judicial remand.
After hearing arguments from both sides, the court granted bail and ordered his release. Awan has already obtained interim bail in seven other cases, which involve charges against 149 individuals, including foreign nationals.
The court had earlier granted bail to all accused in those cases.
