Applicant/accused
Rana Muhammad Waseem Akram son of Rana Abdul Shakoor seeks pre-arrest bail in FIR No.1065/2025, registered at P.S. Gadap
City, Karachi, for offence under sections 406, 506, PPC read with Sections 3
and 4 of the Protection of Lawyers Act, 2023, after rejection of his bail plea
by learned Additional Sessions Judge-III, Malir
Karachi vide order dated 23.01.2026.
Counsel
for applicant after arguing the bail application at some length does not press
the same and requests that this application may be converted to protective bail
on the ground that learned trial Court has dismissed pre-arrest bail of
applicant for non-prosecution, without touching the merits of the case.
In view of the above, instant criminal bail application
is converted into protective bail and the applicant/accused above named is
admitted to protective bail for a period of five (5) days from today, subject
to his furnishing solvent surety in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty 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 concerned Court in the aforesaid period and join the
investigation/trial forthwith. Learned concerned Court is directed to decide
the bail application of the applicant strictly on merits and in accordance with
law. 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.
