            Mr. Mallag Assa Dashti, advocate for applicant

            ------------------------------------

            Applicant/accused Abdullah Afridi son of Yaqoot Khan, seeks protective bail in FIR No.13/2025, registered at P.S. Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi for offence under sections 3/4 of the Anti-Money Laundering Act, 2010. Learned counsel for applicant submits that applicant is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in this case due to mala fide intentions and ulterior motives; that applicant/accused is a law abiding citizen and he intends to surrender before the concerned Court but he feels apprehension of his arrest at the hands of police in order to humiliate and disgrace him, hence he needs some protection to enable him to appear before the Court concerned.

 

Without touching the merits of the case, protective bail is granted to applicant/accused above named, for a period of five (5) 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. Applicant/accused 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 today or whenever 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, his bail bond shall stand automatically forfeited.

 

            The instant criminal bail application is accordingly disposed of.
