ISLAMABAD – ATC-I Judge Abual Hasnaat Zulqarnain on Monday granted bail to 10 PTI MNAs who were in judicial custody at MNA Lodges. Prosecutor Raja Naveed Hussain argued before the court that specific roles are attributed in four FIRs to each accused, and the offenses in which they’re accused of the Anti-Terrorism Act are punishable by more than 3 years, which are non-bailable arrests. Judge Abual Hasnat asked the prosecutor if any recoveries had been made through the accused by naming them, to which the prosecutor said nothing had been recovered from the accused as of now. At this, Judge Abual Hasnaat Zulqarnain granted bail to all accused against surety bonds worth Rs30,000 each. The judge wrote in the order that observations about non-recovery are tentative in nature, and shall have no effect upon the outcome of the case as well as the bail petitions of other co-accused persons.
