(Karachi) The Peshawar High Court (PHC) on Thursday ordered the release of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam–Fazl’s (JUI-F) leader Mufti Kifayatullah on bail.
Kifayatullah was arrested by the Islamabad police on Sunday on charges of inciting people for participation in the “Azadi March” and collection of donations for the protest.
A two-member bench of the PHC, comprising Justice Ijaz Anwar and Justice Shakeel Ahmad, heard the bail petition which had been filed by the JUI-F.
Kifayatullah will be released once the court orders reach Haripur Central Jail, where he is imprisoned. Once free, he will join the caravan heading to Islamabad for protest.
