| Decision |
The application for post-arrest bail filed by Noor Alam was dismissed due to substantial evidence against him, including his nomination in the FIR for the murder of his wife, recovery of the crime weapon, and corroborative witness statements. The court found that the evidence presented by the prosecution created a strong nexus to the unnatural death of the deceased, and the nature of the alleged crime fell within the non-bailable provisions of Section 497(1) of the Criminal Procedure Code. The court emphasized the serious nature of the offense, including the fact that the accused was present at the crime scene and that the claims of suicide were not substantiated. The thorough examination of the evidence led to the conclusion that the accused did not deserve any concession of bail. |
| Summary |
In the case of Noor Alam vs. The State, the Sindh High Court addressed a serious criminal bail application concerning the charge of murder under Section 302 of the Pakistan Penal Code. The court, presided by Justice Aftab Ahmed Gorar, evaluated the evidence which indicated that the accused was directly implicated in the murder of his wife, Aamna. The prosecution presented a compelling case, including the recovery of a 9 mm pistol and blood-stained clothing from the crime scene, alongside witness testimonies that highlighted the accused's role in the events leading to the death of his wife. The court found no substantial evidence to support the defense's claims of suicide, and the nature of the crime was deemed heinous, warranting a denial of bail. This case underscores the judicial system's approach to serious offenses and the importance of concrete evidence in determining bail applications. |
