ISLAMABAD (APP): Supreme Court judge Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah on Tuesday said that development must be equal in every area and no area should be left without development funds.

During the course of proceedings, Petitioner Kh-ushdil Khan and the provincial government sought time to resolve the matter.
Justice Bandial said that not only KPK but the whole country was facing the pr-oblem of development fun-ds. The local governments also complained about fun-ds, he added.

SC accepts bail plea of accused: The Supreme Co-urt on Tuesday granted bail to an accused allegedly in-volved in uploading wom-an’s photos on social media against surety bond of Rs 0.2 million.
A 3-page judgment auth-ored by Justice Sayyed Ma-zahar Ali Akbar Naqvi obs-erved that there was a gro-wing tendency to share i-m-moral images of women on social media and the rise of such activities reflected the moral decline of society.
The order stated that the court would have to consider the case according to the facts whether bail should be granted or not. Some of the uploaded pictures were in full dress and could not be called immoral and apparently no one was recognizable in the uploaded semi-nude photos, it added.
Fakhr had challenged the decision of the Peshawar High Court regarding rejection of his bail.
