1. Deferred.

3. Granted subject to all just
exceptions.
4. It
is, inter alia, contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner
is innocent, who has retired from service in the year 2014 after having
attained the age of superannuation, however, NAB authorities in the garb of
inquiry/investigation on the allegation of misappropriation of funds in the
office of TMA Bhiria city District Naushahro Feroze, has started to cause
harassment to the petitioner by issuing call up notice under Section 19 of
National Accountability Ordinance, 1999 , whereas, petitioner has already attended
the inquiry pursuant to such call-up notices issued from time to time in this
regard. However, per learned counsel, recently, the NAB authorities have raided
the house of the petitioner, whereas, it has been learnt that warrants of
arrest have been issued by the Director General NAB, Sukkur. Per learned
counsel, the Reference has also been filed before Accountability Court,
however, number has not been assigned to such reference. Learned counsel further
submits that petitioner is a heard patient, who has no nexus with the alleged
corruption, however, petitioner is still willing to join investigation, if any,
and to attend the learned trial Court provided, some protection against his
arrest may be given to the petitioner as there is serious apprehension that the
petitioner will be arrested by the NAB authorities which will cause serious
humiliation and injury to the reputation of petitioner.
Let
notice be issued to the respondents as well as DAG and Special Prosecutor, NAB
for 18.05.2016, in the meanwhile,
the respondents may not arrest the petitioner, however, subject to his
furnishing a solvent surety in the sum of Rs.5,00,000/- (five lac) and PR bond
in the like amount to the satisfaction of Additional Registrar of this Court. In
the meanwhile, operation of warrant of arrest issued by the Director General
NAB, Sukkur shall remain suspended, however, petitioner shall attend the trial
Court.
