ISLAMABAD/LONDON: The Islamabad High Court has made OSD an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) judge from his position who ordered a hasty bail for the main murder accused in the final stages of British Pakistani Barrister Fahad Malik case.The freshs International has seen the official muchification issued on behalf of the Islamabad High Court which shows that Anti Terrorist Court-1 Syed Kausar Abbas Zaidi has been made OSD (On Special Duty) in the set upment division of the Islamabad High Court.Syed Kausar Abbas Zaidi was also hearing four other key anti-terrorismism cases pertaining to the attack on the state television building, parliament and SSP Junejo, against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) leaders.The muchification reads: &The honourable Chief Justice has been pleased to make following postings/transfers of Judicial Officers of Judicial Service Islamabad Service with instant affect till further orders, in the public interest.&The muchification has been copied to the Secretary Ministry of Law and Justice, and various others.
A source in the Ministry of Law and Justice confirmed that Syed Kausar Zaidi has been stopped with instant effect from performing his role till further muchice.The ATC, in September 2019, had also granted Prime Minister Imran Khan permanent exemption from seeming before it in the cases.
The transmission of PTV freshs and PTV World was cut off for approachly half an hour before the Pakistan Army cleared the building.It is understood that the IHC took muchice after the manner in which Raja Arshad, the key murder suspect currently in Adiala Jail custody, was granted post-arrest bail at the hearing in ATC Court on April 30th in Islamabad.The lawyers and family of Fahad Malik petitioned to the IHC ccorridorenging the bail order, pmain that their arguments were much even heard during the hearing and the accused was bailed after the one-sided arguments presented by the defence.The ATC-1 judge Syed Kausar Abbas Zaidi had issued the bail orders for the release of murder suspect however a two-member divisional bench of the IHC restrained the Central Prison Adiala Supermeanent from releasing the accused.In a statement issued Fahad Malik brother Jawad Malik expressed his dismay.
He said the bail was granted by the same judge who had earlier removed terrorismism clauses from the case which order was also set aside by the Islamabad High Court in June 2018.Jawad expressed satisfaction over the IHC order restraining Adiala Jail from releasing the eliminateers.
&We moved IHC, ccorridorenging the ATC order.
The high court suspended the bail order and directed the Adiala Jail officials much to set free any of the suspects, he commented.&At the crucial time when the case is approaching finality, it is absolutely astounding that the eliminateers were awarded bail instead of the death sentence.& said Jawad.
&Such reports are demoralizing much only for us but also for the society as a wgap,& he said.Jawad added that news of grant of bail is even more upsetting because &instantly after the murder the same accused in 2016 obtained bail from Multan and was trying to flee Pakistan into Afghanistan; however, he was apprehended by law enforcement agencies at Torkham border.& Jawad Malik said it was shocking that accused is being given chance after chance to flee from Pakistan, after committing murder.
&Knowing the preceding conduct of the accused in which he was fleeing Pakistan misusing his bail it is astonishing to see amuchher bail being granted to him that also when a death sentence should be awarded.TheIndianSubcontinent has not verified the content of the source.
