Syed Azhar

AHT Circle, Karachi under section 22(b), Emigration Ordinance, 1979. Learned
counsel for applicant submits that applicant is innocent and he has falsely
implicated in this case; that applicant was unaware about registration of FIR
and recently he came to know about the instant case and being a law abiding
citizen he intends to appear before concerned Court but he apprehends his
arrest as he has been declared proclaimed offender; that at present applicant
is at Bahrain and intends to come to Pakistan on 17.03.2025. Air ticket is
available at Page 29. He further submits that since the applicant has been
declared proclaimed offender as such his CNIC and Passport have been
blocked.
Be that as it may, without touching the merits of the
case, protective-cum-transitory bail
for a period of five days (from
16.03.2025 to 20.03.2025) is granted
to the applicant above named, subject to furnishing solvent surety in the sum
of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Fifty Hundred Thousand) and
P.R bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Nazir of this Court. Applicant
is directed to surrender before the trial Court concerned in the aforesaid
period and join the investigation/trial forthwith. This order shall cease to
have its effect after expiry of five days from 16.03.2025 to 20.03.2025 or whenever
applicant surrenders before the trial Court, which one occurs earlier. It is
made clear, in case, applicant fails to surrender before the trial Court in the
aforesaid period, his bail bond shall stands automatically forfeited. In the
meanwhile, Ministry of Interior, Government of Pakistan is directed to unblock
CNIC and Passport of applicant for the aforesaid period. Let the copy of this
order be sent to the Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Government of Pakistan,
by fax for compliance.
The instant
criminal bail application is accordingly disposed
of.
