F.P. Report
MARDAN: Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) Mardan has granted Bail before Arrest (BBA) to 125 activists of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), on Thursday. This decision comes after three cases under the Anti-Terrorism Act were registered against them.
During the court proceedings in Mardan, the legal team, including advocates Riyaz Paindakhel and Jawad Khan, passionately presented their case. Their efforts led to the favorable outcome of pre-arrest bail being granted to the majority of PTI members facing legal action.
The hearing in Mardan was presided over by Judge Syed Ubaidullah Shah in the Anti-Terrorism Court. It is important to note that out of the total 127 PTI members involved in the case, 125 have been granted pre-arrest bail. Unfortunately, one member was absent during the proceedings, and another had already been taken into custody.
However, it’s worth mentioning that not all PTI members found themselves on the winning side of the court’s decision. Haroon Ejaz, a PTI member, had his pre-arrest bail plea rejected by the Mardan court. This decision was a stark contrast to the relief granted to the majority of his fellow party members.
The granting of pre-arrest bail is seen as a significant legal victory for PTI members and their legal representatives in Mardan. It ensures that these individuals will not face immediate arrest while allowing them to defend themselves against the charges brought under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
As the legal proceedings continue, the outcome of these cases will be closely watched by both the PTI members and the broader community in Mardan. The legal representation provided by advocates such as Riyaz Paindakhel and Jawad Khan has played a pivotal role in securing this pre-arrest bail for the majority of the PTI members involved.
