Nawab Bugti Murder Case
On 7 October 2009, a single bench of the Balochistan High Court (BHC) comprising Chief Justice Qazi Faez Essa accepted an application of Nawabzada Jamil Akbar Bugti, the eldest son of former Balochistan Governor and Chief Minister Nawab Akbar Bugti, alleging that Yousaf, along with former President Pervez Musharraf and former prime minister Shaukat Aziz, was responsible for the killing of his father on 26 August 2006, in a military operation.{{citation needed|date= October 2022}}
BHC ordered the sub-house officer of Dera Bugti to register a first investigation report against Yousaf. On 9 January 2010, the Supreme Court of Pakistan rejected Yousaf's plea against the BHC orders to file a case against him in the Nawab Bugti murder case.[https://fp.brecorder.com/2010/01/201001091004934/ Nawab Bugti case], fp.brecorder.com.

On 17 July 2012, the BHC granted Yousaf interim bail in the case.[https://www.dawn.com/news/734763/bhc-grants-interim-bail-to-former-cm-in-bugti-murder-case BHC grants interim bail to former CM in Bugti murder case], dawn.com.
