ISLAMABAD: Additional District and Sessions Judge (ADSJ) Islamabad (East) Syed Muhammad Haroon on Wednesday dismissed a pre arrest bail of Managing Director of a construction company due to non appearance in bank cheque disowning case.
The judge also ordered police to arrest the accused identified as Lt Col (R) Shehzad Ali Kiani, Managing Director (MD) AAA Associates, and produce him before the court.
“Accused/petitioner Shehzad Ali Kiani who is on ad-interim bail was not present on first, second and third call, which shows that the accused/petitioner has lost interest in the instant pre arrest bail partition,” observed ADSJ Syed Muhammad Haroon in his verdict.
The judge also remarked that this is a petition for grant of pre arrest bail, wherein the attendance of accused/petitioner is mandatory.
“Hence, the instant pre-arrest bail petition is dismissed due to non-appearance of accused/petitioner. File be consigned to record room after its due completion and compilation,” said ADSJ Syed Muhammad Haroon in his decision.
It may be noted here that Islamabad police had registered cases against AAA Associates MD Lt Col (R) Shehzad Ali Kiyani under section 489F of CrPC with Police Station Luibheer on complaints of investors for not paying the monthly rents for their investments in a project PC OCTA in a private housing society adjacent to GT Road.
The accused managed to obtain pre arrest bail and later on did not appear before court of law. Also, Islamabad police has registered yet another case against AAA Associates Chairman Fawad Bashir Sheikh under section 489F CrPC and started conducting raids to arrest the accused.
The case registered with PS Tarnol on complaint of Maryam Noor, a resident of Bahria Town Phase 7. According to contents of First Information Report (FIR), the complainant Maryam Noor had given Rs 30 million to Fawad Bashir Sheikh for running a business.
