Under Article 199 of the Constitution a High Court may grant bail to an accused person arrested

 For further guidance in this regard, reference can be made to the cases of “Khan Asfandyar Wali v. Federation of Pakistan” (PLD 2001 SC 607) and “Himesh Khan v. The National Accountability Bureau, Lahore” (2015 SCMR 1092). The august Supreme Court of Pakistan in the case of “Tallat Ishaq Vs. National Accountability Bureau through its Chairman and others” (P L D 2019 Supreme Court 250) has held as under:- 

“In an appropriate case through exercise of its jurisdiction under Article 199 of the Constitution a High Court may grant bail to an accused person arrested in connection with an offence under the National Accountability Ordinance, 1999 and section 9(b) of the said Ordinance does not affect the jurisdiction of a High Court conferred upon it by the Constitution. The constitutional jurisdiction of a High Court is, however, an extraordinary jurisdiction meant to be exercised in extraordinary circumstances and not in run of the mill cases or as a matter of course."
