ATC Grants Bail to PTI Leaders in Rawalpindi

On Wednesday, the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Rawalpindi made a significant decision regarding the bail of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders. The ATC confirmed the bail of PTI leaders Shibli Faraz, Raja Basharat, Zartaj Gul, and Zain Qureshi in cases filed on May 9. The cases were presided over by Judge Malik Ijaz Asif, with a notable presence of over 500 named accused individuals in court. The court took note of the attendance of all accused persons.

Approximately 20 to 25 accused individuals, including the PTI leaders mentioned above, were granted bail by the court. Additionally, Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ali Amin Gandapur's request for exemption from appearing was granted; however, he was directed to attend the upcoming hearing. The proceedings for the cases filed on May 9 have been adjourned until May 29, and the next hearing is scheduled to be held at Adiala Jail.

The confirmation of bail for the PTI leaders by the ATC marks a significant development in the ongoing legal proceedings. The court's decision to grant bail to several accused individuals, along with the directives given to Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, highlights the adherence to legal processes and the importance of attendance in court proceedings. The next hearing on May 29 will likely shed more light on the cases filed on May 9, providing further clarity on the legal matters at hand.
