Free will marriage: Court cancels Zaheer’s bail, directs to arrest him

Karachi (HRNW) A Karachi court on Tuesday cancelled the bail of Zaheer Ahmed, the man with whom a Karachi-based teenager had allegedly eloped to Lahore, in a kidnapping case.

The court subsequently directed his arrest.

On Tuesday, Additional Sessions Judge Central heard the case of kidnapping the teenager.

After reviewing the charge sheet submitted by the police in the case, the judge read out his decision on his bail, which had been previously reserved.

The judge decided to cancel Zaheer Ahmed’s bail and directed police to arrest him.

The court also ordered the medical examination of the teenage girl at the center of the saga.

The Additional Sessions Judge East, Karachi, approved on Monday the case challan of the teenage girl who had eloped to Punjab and solemnized her Nikkah with Zaheer Ahmed.

The court has also removed rape charges from the case, noting that since the couple had solemnized the Nikkah, there was no need to insert rape clauses in the case.
