            Applicant/accused Iqbal Khan son of Shams-ur-Rehman is present along with his counsel. He seeks protective bail in FIR No.667/2020, registered at P.S. Sukhan, Karachi, for offence under section 23(1)(a) of the Sindh Arms Act, 2013. It is submitted that the applicant/accused had obtained bail from the trial Court but he absconded as he has life threat due to enmity. Now it is stated that the applicant/accused is prepared to surrender before the trial Court but he apprehends his arrest as NBW has been issued against him. 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 Iqbal Khan son of Shams-ur-Rehman, for a period of four (4) days from today, subject to furnishing solvent surety in the sum of Rs.60,000/- (Rupees sixty 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 four days. Applicant/accused is directed to surrender before the trial Court in the aforesaid period. This order shall cease to have its effect after expiry of four 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.
