MNAs Ali Wazir, Mohsin Dawar granted bail in Kharqamar attack case
Peshawar High Court's Bannu bench on Wednesday accepted the bail pleas of lawmakers 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) police station, Bannu, on May 26 after a clash between PTM members and Army personnel near the Kharqamar check post in North Waziristan, which had resulted in the deaths of 13 persons and injuries to several others.
Separately, they were charged in the instant case registered on June 7 at the CTD police station, Bannu, after an improvised explosive device (IED) exploded on a road in Doga Macha, North Waziristan, when an Army convoy was passing through the area. The blast had left four Army officials — a lieutenant colonel, a major, a captain and a lance havildar — martyred.
A Bannu anti-terrorism court last month had granted bail to the PTM leaders in the second case pertaining to the blast in Doga Macha.
Both Wazir and Dawar were already in CTD custody at the time of the IED blast ─ they had been arrested following the May 26 Kharqamar checkpost attack. Wazir had been taken into custody the day of the attack, while Dawar surrendered himself to security forces a few days later.

Its logical, when the police can't provide any proof linking these individuals to any crime, they can't hold them in custody forever.
Long live Resistance
Shameful decision by the so called judiciary.
Alhamdulillah !
So the judges are putting nails in Pakistan’s coffin. Great Corrupt law enforcement institution.
Remember, leopard doesn't change his spots - get ready for more trouble, incitement and anti-state comments and demonstrations. This is another case of highlighting flaws in our justice system!

That is very nice. Let's hope their grievances are properly addressed. Pakistan is your country. Allah may bless you and your country.
This is no good for peace in the country
Let there be an independent Fact Finding Commission to bring truth openly, and if any if found guilty then they should be punished accordingly.
They should have been bailed long before.. They were in jail for no reason...
I think they should seek asylum in Europe or India to fight for Pakhtun cause. They are right leaders
Finally a judge who can resist WhatsApp texts.
What a shame! This bail business is getting tiresome. Time to get rid of a legal system that is designed to provide protect the guilty.
Soft corners are available for each and every community except for people living in Urban Sindh. Hence it is proved that there is no cure for "ism".
there is no justice in pakistan,there are too many judges like arshad malik still on job.
That's very good news. Happy to hear that!
PTM must thank the KPK Administration for over spending on development projects in their areas. They must shun politics of being tools to other political parties agenda.
How on earth can they roam free? Outrageous.
This nonsense of arresting parliamentarians on false charges should stop. Everyone knew they done nothing wrong other than making big bosses unhappy with their speeches and even then these guys never preach violence.
Keep them locked.
The MNAs concerned should behave sensibly and highlight their electorates grievences in the Pakistani parliament.The media should also behave sensibely and highlight their view point.Last but not least those actually running the affairs of the country should behave in a sensible manner.
Great news dawn Great! Truth will prevail
