The petitioner, Syed Nasir Abbas, then Director General of KDA, was accused of misusing his authority by illegally renting out amenity plots (reserved for public facilities like parks, schools, mosques, etc.) for commercial purposes such as marriage halls and petrol pumps, causing financial loss to the KDA and the national exchequer. NAB filed a reference under corruption and corrupt practices. The Sindh High Court found sufficient material to link him to the offense and dismissed his post-arrest bail petition.
