The Sindh High Court (SHC) has granted bail to Opposition Leader in Sindh Assembly Haleem Adil Shaikh in two cases of rioting and terrorism against surety bonds of Rs0.2 million for each case, reported 24NewsHD TV channel. 

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Sindh Haleem Adil Sheikh was appointed as the new Opposition Leader in the Sindh Assembly on January 26. Right after becoming the Opposition Leader, Haleem Adil said that Sindh Chief Minister was answerable to the Prime Minister of Pakistan.
