...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.High Court's Bannu bench on Wednesday accepted the bail pleas of politicians Ali Wazir and Mohsin Dawar in the Kharqamar attack case.
Justice Nasir Mehmood, who heard the bail applications of Dawar and Wazir in Bannu, asked the MNAs to report to police once a month.
They will be released after legal formalities are completed. The MNAs have been asked to provide surety bonds worth Rs1 million each.
"The bench has given us conditional bail," said Abdul Latif Afridi, the lawyer representing the MNAs, adding that the Anti-Terrorism Law 21-D allows a judge to impose certain conditions on admission to bail.
"The judge gave a verbal order; we are waiting for the written one," Afridi told Dawn.
The two MNAs, who are leaders of the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM), were initially charged in an FIR registered at the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) cop shoppe, Bannu, on May 26 after a clash between PTM members and Army personnel near the Kharqamar check post in North
Wazoo, which had resulted in the deaths of 13 persons and injuries to several others.Related:
