4.         Applicant/accused Haji Muhammad Ashraf son of Qamir-ur-Din Malik, who is presently in Dubai, has filed instant criminal bail application through his attorney/real brother Muhammad Akran son of Qamir-ur-Din Malik, seeking protective-cum-transitory bail in FIR No.648/2022, registered at P.S. Darakhshan, Karachi for offence under Sections 489-F, PPC. 

 

            Learned counsel for applicant submits that applicant was unaware about registration of above FIR and is not a willful absconder; that aforesaid FIR was registered at the time when applicant was abroad; that he is innocent and has been falsely involved in this case for mala fide intentions and ulterior motives; that applicant is a law abiding citizen and intends to surrender before the concerned Court but he apprehends his arrest at the hands of police in order to humiliate and disgrace, hence he needs protection in order to enable him to appear before the concerned Court.

 

Without touching the merits of the case, protective-cum-transitory bail is granted to applicant above named in the aforesaid FIR, for a period of ten (10) days from today, subject to his 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. Applicant is directed to surrender before the concerned Court in the aforesaid period and join the trial forthwith. This order shall cease to have its effect after expiry of ten days from today or whenever the applicant surrenders before the concerned Court, which one occurs earlier. The applicant is cautioned that this concession of protective bail will not be extended for any reason whatsoever and if he fails to surrender himself before the relevant Court during validity of this protective bail, his bail bond shall stand forfeited.

 

            Instant Criminal Bail Application stands disposed of in the foregoing terms.
