ATC Forfeits Aleema Khan’s Rs2 Million Bonds, Issues Contempt Notice, Bailable Warrants

The Rawalpindi anti-terrorism court escalated enforcement following missed appearances with fines still outstanding.

Overview

  • The court ordered seizure of surety bonds totaling Rs2.0 million and issued recovery notices to both guarantors.
  • Bailable arrest warrants and a contempt notice under Section 37 of the Anti‑Terrorism Act were issued over late attendance and unpaid court‑ordered amounts, including an Rs80,000 fine.
  • The case arises from Sadiqabad Police Station FIRs tied to the November D‑Chowk protest, which allege vandalism, stone‑pelting and anti‑government slogans.
  • Proceedings were adjourned to December 15 after the matter was called twice without the defense present, and Aleema Khan appeared with counsel after the adjournment.
  • Aleema Khan has separately petitioned the Islamabad High Court for contempt, alleging Adiala Jail refused a court‑ordered meeting with Imran Khan.
