Former Federal Minister Sheikh Rasheed and 25 others were granted interim bail by the Anti-Terrorism Court in a case related to the May 09 riots. The bail was approved in connection with the vandalism of the RA Bazar police station and GHQ attack case. Sheikh Rasheed condemned the riots last year.
RAWALPINDI: The Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on Tuesday approved the interim bail of Former Federal Minister, Sheikh Rasheed and 25 others in a case related to the May 09 riots, ARY News reported.
The ATC judge granted bail to the accused former federal minister Sheikh Rasheed and others in the vandalism of the RA Bazar police station and GHQ attack case.
Meanwhile, the hearing on the bail applications of the accused including Sheikh Rasheed in 12 others is underway.
It is pertinent to mention here that, Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed last year condemned the May 9 riots and called Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief a ‘stubborn’.
Talking to a private news channel, the former interior minister said that he had been on a ‘Chilla’ (apparently spending time underground) for the last 40 days.
Sheikh Rasheed – an ally of PTI chief Imran Khan – said that he had the opportunity to reflect on many things during the chilla in this age. “No one caused any harm during this period”, he added.
The AML president further said that he always stood by the Pakistan Army, noting that he had also suggested PTI chief that “one should keep good terms with the army”. “I am proud to call myself the spokesperson of the Pakistan Army”, Rasheed insisted.
The recent decision by the court to approve the interim bail of Sheikh Rasheed in the May 09 riots case has sparked significant public discussion and debate. While some support the decision as a necessary step to ensure due process and fair treatment, others express concern about the potential impact on the legal system and the pursuit of justice.
It is essential to carefully analyze the factors that influenced the court’s decision. Legal experts emphasize the significance of considering the evidence presented, the principles of justice, and the presumption of innocence. Moreover, the court’s assessment of the risk of flight and the potential for interference with the investigation are crucial considerations in determining the approval of interim bail.
The implications of this decision are far-reaching and warrant thoughtful reflection. It serves as a reminder of the complexities inherent in the administration of justice and the delicate balance between individual rights and societal interests. As the case progresses, it is imperative for all stakeholders to uphold the integrity of the legal process and demonstrate respect for the rule of law.
This development underscores the importance of accountability, transparency, and the upholding of legal principles. It also emphasizes the need for open and informed dialogue that promotes greater understanding of the intricacies of the legal system. As citizens, it is vital to engage in constructive discussions and remain vigilant in our commitment to upholding the principles of justice and the rule of law in our society.
