Lahore ATC Dismisses Omar Ayub’s Pre-Arrest Bail in Three May 9 Cases

The judge cited non-prosecution, underscoring a stricter posture in ongoing May 9 prosecutions.

Overview

  • Judge Arshad Javed dismissed all three interim bail applications on non-prosecution grounds.
  • The court also rejected Omar Ayub’s request for a one-day exemption from personal appearance.
  • The FIRs allege Ayub’s involvement in burning police vehicles in Gulberg, setting a container ablaze at Kalma Chowk, and attacking Islamabad Police at Zaman Park.
  • In August, a Faisalabad Anti-Terrorism Court sentenced Ayub and 16 other PTI leaders to 10 years in a case over an attack on Rana Sanaullah’s house.
  • Non-bailable arrest warrants for Ayub and other PTI leaders in May 9-related cases remain in effect.
