RAWALPINDI: The Rawalpindi Bench of the High Court has approved the bail of religious scholar Engineer Muhammad Ali Mirza in a case related to alleged religious hatred, ordering his immediate release.
Justice Sadaqat Khan, while approving the bail, directed the scholar to submit two surety bonds worth Rs 500,000 each. The court noted that the current proceedings were limited to the bail hearing, while matters relating to evidence, details, and religious decrees (fatwas) would be assessed by the trial court.
The FIA Cyber Crime Wing had registered a case against Engineer Muhammad Ali Mirza on charges of disrespecting sacred personalities. During the hearing, the FIA’s counsel informed the court that a formal fatwa had been issued against the accused. However, the court instructed the counsel to present such arguments before the trial court, emphasizing that only bail-related arguments would be considered at this stage.
