PESHAWAR: The Peshawar High Court (PHC) Thursday approved bail to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) stalwart Ali Muhammad Khan, who had been arrested under the 3-Maintenance of Public Order (3MPO) law.
A two-member bench comprising Justice Fazal Subhan and Justice Ijaz Anwar heard Ali Muhammad Khan’s plea and immediately ordered his release. Furthermore, the court summoned the Mardan Deputy Commissioner to appear on the next hearing date scheduled for August 8.
It’s worth noting that Ali Muhammad Khan was arrested for at least eight times.
On July 25, the Khan was re-arrested in Mardan shortly after his release on bail under the 3MPO. According to his counsel, Nadeem Shah, the arrest was made on the order of the Deputy Commissioner.
Nadeem Shah said the court had previously ordered Ali Muhammad Khan’s release and specifically instructed that he should not be arrested in any case until August 4.
However, despite these orders, the PTI leader found himself behind the bars for the eighth time.
