Applicants/accused
Iqbal Ahmed Channa and Niaz Ahmed are present on interim pre-arrest bail. Mr.
Muhammad Jamil, advocate, appearing on behalf of
applicants/accused pointed out that challan has been
submitted before learned Special Court, Anti-Corruption (Provincial) Sindh
against the accused and prayed that captioned bail before arrest applications
may be converted to the protective bails so that the applicants/accused may be
able to surrender before the trial Court. Learned DDPP has recorded no
objection. Request for conversion of pre-arrest bail is allowed. Office is
directed to assign the number.
Without
touching the merits of the case, protective
bail is granted to applicants/accused Iqbal Ahmed Channa and Niaz Ahmed, for a period of four
(4) days from today, subject to furnishing solvent surety in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand) each and P.R bond in the like amount to
the satisfaction of the Nazir of this Court. Learned advocate for applicants/accused
pointed out that at the time of grant of interim pre-arrest bail, surety in the
sum of Rs.50,000/- for each accused has already been
submitted before the Nazir of this Court, the same surety shall be deemed as
surety in protective bail, no further surety is required to be furnished.
However, the applicants/accused are 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 four days from today
or whenever the applicants/accused surrender before the trial Court, which one
occurs earlier. It is made clear, in case, applicants/accused fail to surrender
before the trial Court in the aforesaid period, their bail bonds shall stand
automatically forfeited.
The instant
criminal bail applications are accordingly disposed
of.
