Applicant/accused
Azmat Khan son of Raees Khan is present along with his counsel. Counsel for
applicant/accused submits that this bail before arrest application, in FIR
No.218/2021, registered at P.S. Ibrahim Hyderi, for
offence under Section 6/9(c) of the Control of Narcotic Substances Act, 1997,
may be converted to protective bail as the applicant/accused is prepared to
surrender before the trial Court but he apprehends his arrest at the hands of
police for mala fide reasons. Serious mala fides on the part of police have
been alleged.
Without touching the merits of the case, protective bail is granted to
applicant/accused Azmat Khan son of Raees
Khan, for a period of five (5) days
from today, subject to furnishing solvent surety in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand) and P.R bond in the like amount to the
satisfaction of the Nazir of this Court. Operation of NBW issued against the
applicant/accused is suspended for five days. Applicant/accused is directed to
surrender before the trial Court in the aforesaid period and join the trial forthwith.
This order shall cease to have its effect after expiry of five days from today
or whenever applicant/accused surrenders before the trial Court, which one
occurs earlier. It is made clear, in case, applicant/accused fails to surrender
before the trial Court in the aforesaid period, his bail bond shall stands
automatically forfeited.
The instant
criminal bail application is accordingly disposed
of.
