            This is an application for protective bail moved on behalf of applicants/accused Muhammad Ashraf Qureshi and Qadir Bux in Crime No.159/2019 registered at P.S Manghopir for offences under sections 353/ 324/ 435/ 427/ 147/ 148/ 149/ 447/ 337-A(i) PPC read with Section 7 Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997. Applicant/accused Muhammad Ashraf Qureshi is present before this Court. Counsel appearing for the applicants/accused does not press the bail application for accused Qadir Bux as he is called absent. Protective bail application to the extent of accused Qadir Bux is dismissed as not pressed.  

 

            It is contended that applicant/accused Muhammad Ashraf Qureshi is prepared to surrender before the learned Judge, A.T.C concerned, but apprehends his arrest at the hands of the police for the malafide reasons. Serious malafide on the part of the police is alleged.

 

            Without touching merits of the case, protective bail for a period of 04 days is granted to the applicant/accused Muhammad Ashraf Qureshi, subject to his furnishing solvent surety in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand only) and P.R bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Nazir of this Court. Applicant/accused Muhammad Ashraf Qureshi shall surrender before the learned Judge, Anti-Terrorism Court concerned, in the aforesaid period. This order shall cease to have effect after expiry of 04 days or whenever the applicant/accused surrenders before the concerned Court. In case, applicant/accused fails to surrender before the Trial Court within the stipulated period, his bail bond shall stand forfeited automatically.

 

            The instant Bail Application stands disposed of.
