More arrest warrants issued for Yar Rind
Staff Report
QUETTA:
Former federal minister was barely out of hot waters after the court
approved his bail in kidnapping case, when Balochistan police issued his
warrants in eight other cases, SAMAA reports Monday.
Balochistan
police handed over to Islamabad police the warrants for the arrest of
Q-League leader from Balochistan. Police officials are in consultations
over the issue.
It should be mentioned here that apex court
granted the bail to the former federal minister from Balochistan Yar
Muhammed Rind against two surety bonds worth five lakh rupees in kidnap
case.
The apex court directed the concerned authorities not to arrest him again unless his involvement is found in any other case.
Deputy
Prosecutor General Azam Khattak told the court that the prosecution
record could not be retrieved owing to the lack of time.
Heading a
three-judge bench hearing Rind’s appeal, Chief Justice of Pakistan
(CJP) Iftikhar Muhammed Chaudhry stressed on the status of a penalty
delivered in absentia, adding, “We discouraged the in-absentia
punishment in the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) verdict.”
Counsel
for Rind, advocate Akram Shaikh said the case against his client is the
result of tribal hostilities and owing to the same enmity, Rind could
not attend the trial court all this meantime.
Sheikh pleaded the court to transfer the case to some other location, as his client’s life is in jeopardy in Balochistan.
It
is pertinent to note here that Leader of the Opposition in the
Balochistan Assembly Rind was arrested on Thursday (November 1) at the
behest of the Supreme Court as he appeared before the court.
It
may be noted here that the trial court and Balochistan High Court (BHC)
awarded life imprisonment to Yar Muhammad Rind in a murder case. He had
not been appearing in the provincial courts for many years. However, he
had filed a petition in the apex court against his imprisonment order.
During
the previous hearing, the three-member bench of the court, hearing
Rind’s appeal, ordered the arrest of Sardar Yar Mohammad Rind as per the
requirements of law. –
