KARACHI: A Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre medico-legal officer, accused of raping a trainee nurse, was granted bail against a surety bond of Rs 200,000 by sessions court on Friday.
Abdul Jabbar Memon, who was removed from service after the alleged offence, was booked for raping and then attempting to murder a student of the JPMC nursing school in the residential area of the hospital on July 13. Additional District and Sessions Judge (South) Abdul Razzaq pronounced the order after hearing arguments from both sides.
The court in its order observed that the alleged rape survivor has given a very different version of the incident and has not implicated the accused. The judgement stated that on the basis of prima facie assessment of the available material, the case of the accused man needed further inquiry and he was entitled to bail.
