Police officer, in attendance, has submitted a report on behalf of District Police Officer, Vehari/ Respondent No, 2 stating therein that Muhammad Amjad, the alleged detenue was confined in the lock up of Police Station Saddar Vehari in connection with case FIR No, 576, dated 03.10.2018 in respect of an offence under Section 381-A, PPC registered at Police Station Saddar Vehari and as per daily roznamcha, he was arrested vide Rapat No, 16 dated 10.10.2018 and at present he is on physical remand.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the alleged detenue was apprehended from his house by the officials of CIA Staff on 28.09.2018 and then he filed a petition for his recovery wherein vide order dated 02.10.2018, this Court had issued direction to the Station House Officer Police Station Danewal to get recovered the alleged detenue and produce him before this Court. On 04.10.2018, it was informed by the police that the alleged detenue was neither arrested nor required in any criminal case but the report, received on behalf of District Police Officer Vehari, is disclosing another picture that the petitioner was arrested on 10.10.2018 in aforesaid criminal case while deviating his previous stance, which shows the mala fide on the part of the police and his biasness.
3. Though the Muhammad Amjad/alleged detenue is on physical remand yet in view of the circumstances, his physical remand is set-aside and he is granted ad interim protective pre-arrest bail till 18.10.2018 with the direction to approach the concerned Court for the grant of ad-interim pre-arrest bail, if so advised. However, it is made clear that this order granting protective pre-arrest bail shall automatically elapse after Court hours on the said date.
4. This petition stands disposed of accordingly.
