Additional District & Sessions Judge (AD&SJ) Talat Mahmood on Saturday cancelled an order passed by his colleague AD&SJ Abu-ul-Hasanat Zulqarnain Chaudhry in which he had granted bail to a Frenchman in bad cheques case.
The plaintiffs named Nauman Rasheed and Ali Anwar accused that Phillipe Jean Marie had given them two bad cheques worth Rs 1.25 million and 0.5 million. They said the accused was an impostor and had swindled them into paying money for French visas while claiming to be a French embassy official.
Earlier, AD&SJ Chaudhry had granted a post-arrest bail to the accused on the basis of a Sabzazar Police report stating the cheques in question had been stolen. The plaintiffs, after the court’s decision, got another report from Sabzazar Police claiming that the earlier one had been forged as it was in fact about the theft of identification document of the foreigner and not about the cheques. They filed another application in the court of AD&SJ Talat Mahmood seeking cancellation of bail granted to the accused. On this the court cancelled earlier ruling.
