A top Pakistani court on Friday granted bail to jailed former prime minister Nawaz Sharif who was undergoing treatment after being diagnosed with an acute immune disorder.
The three-time premier''s lawyer Ashtar Ausaf told the court that his condition is "extremely serious" and he should be granted bail."The medical reports of the PML-N supreme leader have been sent to doctors abroad for their opinion," a party leader said.Expressing relief over the diagnosis, the doctor further said that the ailment can be cured with the right medications.Prime Minister Imran Khan has also expressed concern over Sharif's health, saying "political differences notwithstanding, my sincere prayers are with Nawaz Sharif for his health.

The 69-year-old Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo was rushed to the Services Hospital in Lahore from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) office late on Monday night after a massive drop in his platelet count.
A two-member bench of the Lahore High Court (LHC), headed by Justice Baqar Najafi, heard the petition of PML-N president Shahbaz Sharif seeking the release of his elder brother from the custody of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on medical grounds in the money laundering case and accepted it.
However, Sharif will not be released immediately as the Islamabad High Court adjourned the hearing of his bail plea in a separate Al-Azizia steel mills case until Tuesday.
The NAB''s prosecutor did not challenge the defence''s plea, saying since it is a matter of serious health issue of the former premier, it does not oppose his bail.
Sharif has been under treatment at the Services Hospital since Monday night after his condition deteriorated in the NAB''s custody. He is also serving a seven-year imprisonment in the Al-Azizia corruption case.
A 10-member medical board, headed by Services Hospital Principal Ayaz Mahmood, also submitted his report to the court declaring his condition "very serious".
Dr Ayaz said the board has diagnosed the reason for his declining health.
"It is acute immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), a bleeding disorder, in which the immune system destroys platelets. Since Sharif''s platelet counts are constantly reducing, we inject platelets every day but they destruct every day," he said.
On Thursday evening, Sharif''s platelet count again dropped from 20,000 to 6,000.
Renowned hematologist and bone-marrow transplant expert Dr Tahir Sultan Shamsi said Sharif did not have bone cancer, but rather acute ITP which is treatable in Pakistan.
Senior PML-N leader Khawaja Muhammad Asif told reporters on Thursday that going abroad for treatment if granted bail would be the discretion of Nawaz Sharif.
To come out jail and custody of the NBA, Nawaz Sharif needs bails from the IHC and the LHC.
