Petitioner/accused
Babar Rashid son of Rashid Ahmad Zafar, who is presently residing at UAE has filed this
constitution petition under Article 199 of the Constitution of Islamic Republic
of Pakistan, 1973, for protective/transitory bail, through his duly constituted
attorney, namely, Owais Nasim
son of Nasim Yousuf. It is
inter alia contended by the counsel for petitioner that petitioner intends to
surrender before Lahore High Court/trail Court concerned in connection with FIR
bearing Crime No.38/2024, registered
at P.S. FIA, Anti-Money Laundering Circle, Lahore, for offences under Sections
3, 4, AML (Amended) Act, 2020, but apprehends his arrest at the hands of FIA
officials at Karachi Airport, for mala fide reasons. In terms of order dated
16.09.2024, counsel for petitioner by way of his statement has placed before
this Court copies of Air-Ticket, CNIC
and passport of petitioner/accused.
Since petitioner/accused
Babar Rashid son of Rashid Ahmad Zafar is
prepared to surrender before the trial Court, without touching the merits of
the case, protective/transitory bail is granted to him for a period of Nine (9) days from today, subject to
furnishing solvent surety in the sum of Rs.100,000/- (Rupees One
Hundred Thousand) and P.R bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of
the Nazir of this Court. Petitioner/accused is directed to surrender before the
trial Court concerned in the aforesaid period. This order shall cease to have
its effect after expiry of nine days from today or whenever the petitioner/accused
surrenders before the trial Court, which one occurs earlier. In case,
petitioner fails to surrender before the trial Court within the aforesaid
period, his bail bond shall stand automatically forfeited. Let the copy of this
order be sent to the Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Government of Pakistan, Islamabad,
by fax for information.
The instant petition is accordingly disposed of.
