Court suspends Rana Sanaullah’s non bailable arrest warrants.

The Gujrat anti-terrorism court on Tuesday cancelled Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah’s non-bailable arrest warrants in a terrorism case filed against him at the Industrial Area police station in 2022.

On the complaint of Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid leader Shaikh Shahkaz Aslam, the police registered a terrorism case against Sanaullah on August 25, 2022, for allegedly threatening the judiciary and government officials in speeches delivered on April 12, 2021 and January 29, 2022.

The police had quashed the case, submitting a report to the court that was later annulled by the ATC, followed by the issuance of arrest warrants, which were turned into non-bailable arrest warrants when Sanaullah failed to appear at the March 7 hearing.

Sanaullah and his legal team were present as Judge Rana Zahid heard the case.

“I could not come to the court at the previous hearing because I was engaged in government-related work,” the interior minister explained.

The judge cancelled the non-bailable arrest warrants and ordered the interior minister to post a Rs500,000 surety bond. The hearing was postponed until April 28 by the judge.
