Instead of travelling to the city after the FIR was filed in Faisalabad, Ana and her attorney were directed to appear before the Islamabad high court today with documentation proving Ana’s residence in Islamabad. The IHC received an affidavit on behalf of the petitioner.
The court expressed outrage during the hearing at Ana’s attorney’s assertion that the petitioner lived in Islamabad. The applicant had certainly arrived in Islamabad following the FIR’s filing, the court noted.
The judge went on to say that everyone comes to the court in the federal capital because getting protective bail is simple.
In the case involving the kidnapping, torturing, and abuse of a Faisalabad medical student who was Ana Ali’s friend, the IHC granted Ana Ali Sheikh a four-day protective bail in exchange for a surety bond of Rs25,000.

Ana Ali had entered a plea at the IHC, claiming that she was underage and was concerned about being detained by the police as part of the case’s investigation. Despite not being there when the incident occurred, she claimed in her plea that she was nominated in the case. Additionally, she said that the police were under pressure to detain her. She promised to come before the relevant court, so the judge should grant her protective bail so she can avoid arrest.
