A sessions court has granted interim pre-arrest bail to former SSP-South Imran Qureshi in a case pertaining to a robbery during a raid on the house of a trader in Orangi Town. SSP Qureshi filed a pre-arrest bail application before Additional District and Sessions Judge Aurangzeb Shah through his counsel, after Judicial Magistrate (west) Muhammad Bilal issued an arrest warrant for him.
The counsel for the applicant argued that his client had not been named in the FIR and that the investigation officer (IO) did not attribute any role to him in the charge sheet.
Furthermore, the counsel contended that the order issued by the judicial magistrate on Tuesday was “unjust, biased, prejudiced, illegal, and unlawful” against SSP Qureshi.
He also mentioned that the other co-accused persons had already obtained bail in the same offence, therefore, his client was also entitled to the same concession under the rule of consistency.
