Peshawar High Court Grants Protective Bail to Asad Qaiser, Umar Ayub, and Faisal Amin Gandapur

The Peshawar High Court has granted protective bail to prominent political figures Asad Qaiser, Umar Ayub, and Faisal Amin Gandapur. This decision, made by Chief Justice Ishtiaq Ibrahim and Justice Waqar Ahmed, prevents the arrest of these individuals in any ongoing or upcoming cases for the time being.

 

During the hearing, the defense lawyer expressed concerns about the lack of clarity regarding the specific charges or cases against the three men. The uncertainty surrounding the potential arrests prompted the court to take preventive measures to ensure that the accused could prepare for their legal battles without the threat of immediate detention.

 

Chief Justice Ishtiaq Ibrahim addressed the issue by granting the trio 15 days of protective security. He also instructed the defendants to seek details about the specific cases from the relevant high court, ensuring they have a clear understanding of the legal challenges they face.

 

Umar Ayub, one of the individuals granted bail, requested an extension beyond the standard period, citing the numerous cases and court appearances required of him. After considering his plea, the court extended the protective bail to a period of three weeks.

 

This ruling provides a temporary respite for Qaiser, Ayub, and Gandapur as they navigate the complexities of their legal situations. The decision underscores the court's commitment to ensuring fair treatment and due process amid ongoing legal uncertainties.
