Pakistan's former premier Yousuf Raza Gilani has been granted bail in 12 corruption cases by a federal anti-terrorism court in Karachi.
A scene of chaos prevailed outside the court as large numbers of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) workers gathered in front of the court and started chanting slogans.
According to Dawn, at the onset of the hearing, party workers and members forced themselves into the court, as a result of which, the hearing was carried out in the judge's chamber.
Gilani has been granted bail in 12 corruption cases until July 10.
Meanwhile, the ATC issued a bailable arrest warrant for Pakistan's former commerce minister Makhdoom Amin Fahim until July 10, the report said.
