PHC grants protective bail to Ali Amin Gandapur & Faisal Javed
Court Orders Ali Amin Gandapur to Deposit Rs 100,000 Bond.
PESHAWAR: The Peshawar High Court (PHC) has granted protective bail to Ali Amin Gandapur, the nominated Chief Minister for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
Chief Justice Ibrahim Khan presided over the hearing of Gandapur’s petition, accepting his application for protective bail.
In accordance with the court’s order, Ali Amin Gandapur has been instructed to deposit a bond of Rs 100,000. The decision comes amidst uncertainty regarding Gandapur’s whereabouts during the legal proceedings, prompting questions from the Chief Justice himself.
“We didn’t know about the lawsuit,” remarked Gandapur’s lawyer, highlighting a potential gap in communication or notification regarding the case.
Faisal Javed Gets Bail
In a separate development, the PHC has also approved bail for Senator Faisal Javed, another prominent figure within the PTI. Similar to Gandapur, Senator Faisal Javed has been directed to submit a bond of Rs 100,000 as a condition for his bail.
The granting of protective bail to Gandapur and bail approval for Senator Faisal Javed mark significant legal developments within the political landscape of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with both decisions attracting attention and scrutiny from public.
