ANF Muhammad Ali Society, Karachi for offence under section 9(1) Serial No.3(8) of the Control of Narcotic Substances Act, 1997. It is inter alia contended that applicant’s actual name is Faqeer Muhammad not Faqeer Khan and he has been falsely been implicated in this case on the statement of co-accused. He was not aware about pendency of instant case therefore he could not surrender before the trial Court concerned. It is further contended that NBW has been issued against the applicant/accused and he is prepared to surrender before the trial Court. Serious mala fides on the part of the ANF police have been alleged.

 

Without touching the merits of the case, protective bail is granted to applicant/accused Faqeer Khan (Faqeer Muhammad) son of Shahzada, having CNIC No.42301-4199028-9, for a period of four (04) days from today, subject to furnishing solvent surety in the sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees twenty five 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 the 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, their bail bond shall stands automatically forfeited.

 

            The instant criminal bail application is accordingly disposed of.
