Applicant/accused
Ameer Ali son of Muhammad Yaqoob seeks protective bail in FIR No.439/2023, registered
at Collectorate of Customs Enforcement,
Anti-Smuggling Organization Headquarters, N.M.B. Wharf, Karachi for offence
under sections 2(s), 15, 16, 17, 157(2), 178, 187 of the Customs Act, 1969.
Learned counsel for applicant submits that applicant is innocent and he has
been falsely implicated in this case due to mala intentions and ulterior
motives; that applicant is a law abiding citizen and intends to surrender
before the trial Court/Special Judge, CNS-II, Karachi but he apprehends his
arrest at the hands of concerned police in the wake of NBW issued against him
by the trial Court.
Without touching the merits of the case, protective bail is granted to
applicant/accused above named, for a period of three (3) 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 is suspended for three days.
Applicant is directed to surrender before the trial Court concerned in the
aforesaid period and join the trial forthwith. This order shall cease to have
its effect after expiry of three days from today or whenever the 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 stand automatically forfeited.
The instant
criminal bail application is accordingly disposed
of.
