Pakistan
Accused had already secured protective bail in unknown cases from PHC.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Islamabad’s district and session court has extended the interim bail of accused Siddique Anjum till November 23 in a case of propaganda on social media against the judge.
Additional Session Judge Afzal Majoka heard the bail plea of accused in propaganda on social media against the judge case.
During the hearing, a Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) prosecutor told the court that the accused had protective bail from the Peshawar High Court (PHC).
Prosecutor requested the court to reject the bail plea of the accused in this case as he had already one.
Defence lawyer stated that FIA was misquoting the facts to the court. The accused had not taken the protective bail in this case but secured protective bail in unknown cases from PHC.
Accused’s lawyer informed that the court had restrained the FIA from arresting Siddique Anjum in unknown cases.
Consequently, the district and session court adjourned the case hearing granting interim bail to the accused until Nov 23.
