Maulana Aziz gets bails in four cases
Islamabad High Court (IHC) division bench on Monday granted bail to former Lal Masjid chief cleric Maulana Abdul Aziz in four cases. The cases involve the kidnappings of Chinese nationals and policemen, the murder of a Ranger and terrorism against the state. Aziz was asked to submit a surety bond of Rs 0.5 million in each case. The two-member bench, consisting of IHC Chief Justice Sardar Aslam and Justice Raja Saeed Akram, heard arguments, and accepted Azizs bail application. Aziz is still facing eight more cases registered under the Amplifier Act and Section 16 of the Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance. These cases will be heard on May 3 and Aziz will be freed if granted bail in these cases. Advocate Shaukat Siddiqui was Azizs counsel.
