KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) has granted post-arrest bail to two suspects who were behind the bars for their alleged involvement in the pilferage of a transshipment cargo.
A single bench comprising Justice Salahuddin Panhwar granted bail to Zarwali Khan and Roshan with surety of Rs 200,000 each. According to the prosecution, Pakistan Customs’ MCC Preventive raided a godown in the city’s Site area where they found that a container, which was destined for Peshawar Dry Port, was unloaded and empty.
The customs staff seized huge quantity of foreign origin goods worth estimated at millions of rupees from the premises. They also took driver of a vehicle Zarwali Khan and his helper into their custody and registered an FIR against them.
Advocate Jamil Ahmed, the counsel for the applicants, submitted that his clients were implicated in the case as they were not beneficiaries of the alleged pilferage of the cagro. He said that the main accused had already been released on bail by the trial court and the rule of consistency required that the same concession be given to the applicants.
