QUETTA: A district and sessions court on Monday approved the interim bail of Gazain Marri, who had been taken into custody from the Quetta airport after he arrived in the country last week.
The bail was approved against submission of two surety bonds worth one million rupees.
Gazain, son of the late nationalist leader of Balochistan Khair Baksh Marri, had been in a self-imposed exile in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the past 18 years.
Marri is a suspect in the murder of Balochistan High Court (BHC) Justice Nawaz Marri in addition to being an alleged facilitator of the banned militant organisation Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA).
Justice Nawaz Marri was killed in a targeted attack in Quetta on January 7, 2000.
Earlier in June, Gazain had confirmed his plans of ending his self-imposed exile and also said that he will face the cases against him.
Gazain, a former home minister and younger brother of Nawab Changez Marri, said he would decide his future course of action after discussing the issue with other stakeholders.
“I am returning to my country after spending 18 years in exile on Sept 22,” he had said, adding that nobody should be afraid of his return as he was not bringing a tank or a force with him.
Marri had said he was unaware of the developments in Switzerland where posters calling for an independent Balochistan were being publicly displayed. He expressed surprise and asked what objectives or gains had been achieved by these banners.
He explained that he had gone into exile on his father’s instructions.
