He said that the apex court could not conduct a hearing on Siraj's plea without reviewing the high court's verdict. Justice Sajjad while addressing Agha Siraj who appeared before the bench in person said that he (Siraj) must had been jailed if the SHC had rejected his bail.
Justice Bandial also rejected Siraj Durani's plea to surrender before the trial court, and remarked that the court could not order the surrender before the trial court.

Justice Bandial directed Durrani to first surrender before NAB. He said that the court had already given him concession earlier as well and now there was a high court's order against him. He said that the court would not intervene in NAB's matters.
Later, hearing of the case was adjourned for one week.
