            Applicant/accused Farheen Sadia Waseem wife of Waseem Ayub Bhatti, seeks protective bail in FIR No.16/2022, registered at P.S. FIA Commercial Bank Circle, Karachi for offences under Sections, 409, 419, 420, 467, 468, 477-A, 109, PPC read with Section 3 and 4 of the Anti-Money Laundering Act, 2010. It is inter alia contended that applicant/accused is prepared to surrender before the trial Court but she apprehends her imminent arrest at the hands of FIA officials for mala fide reasons.

 

Since the applicant/accused wishes to surrender herself before the trial Court concerned, without touching the merits of the case, protective bail is granted to applicant/accused Farheen Sadia Waseem wife of Waseem Ayub Bhatti for a period of five (05) days from today, subject to her furnishing solvent surety in the sum of Rs.40,000/- (Rupees Forty thousand) and P.R bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Nazir of this Court. 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 five 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, her bail bond shall stands automatically forfeited.

 

            The instant criminal bail application is accordingly disposed of.
