Lahore ATC Grants Bail in Jinnah House Attack Case

An anti-terrorism court in Lahore has recently granted post-arrest bail to six individuals accused in the Jinnah House attack case that occurred during the May 9 riots. The court, presided over by ATC Judge Khalid Arshad, made the decision after considering the bail petitions and arguments presented by both the prosecution and the defense.

The accused individuals, namely Muhammad Aslam, Muhammad Rashid Bhatti, Mian Muhammad Tahir, Mehmat Mujahid, Imran Ali, and Muhammad Irfan, have been instructed to provide surety bonds of Rs 200,000 each to secure their release on bail. These individuals were implicated in the case filed by the Sarwar Road police for their alleged involvement in the attack on Jinnah House, the official residence of the corps commander in Lahore, during the unrest on May 9.

This development marks a significant turn in the legal proceedings surrounding the Jinnah House attack, shedding light on the complexities of the case and the judicial process. The decision to grant post-arrest bail to the accused individuals underscores the importance of due process and the right to a fair trial, ensuring that justice is served while upholding the principles of law and order.
