Court seek more time to consider Qayoom’s bail plea



Tassaduq Yassien:
 As a local court in Kathua sought more time to consider bail plea by Kashmir Bar Association President Mian Abdul Qayoom, the Jammu and Kashmir High Court has listed the case for hearing on Monday.
Official sources said that after perusal of the case, vacation Judge, Justice Muzaffar Hussain Attar posted the case for Monday.
They said that the local Court in Kathua has sought more time to consider the bail plea by the advocate Mian Abdul Qayoom who continues to be behind the bars despite quashing of two PSA detention orders against him by the high court.
After granting him interim bail on December 31 last year, Justice Mansoor Ahmed Mir had ordered transfer of the bail plea to the Principal Sessions Judge Kathua/ Trial Court for disposal under law by or before 20th January, 2011.
The petitioner was asked to furnish bail bond to the tune of Rs. 1 lakh with two sureties of like amount to the satisfaction of Trial Court. After his arrest in 07 July last year, the lawyers went on strike as a mark of protest against the “unconstitutional arrest” of Qayoom and suspended their stir after 125-days.
