| Decision |
The Supreme Court ruled on the application for bail concerning the petitioners involved in a case under sections 302 and 429 of the Penal Code. The court acknowledged the previous bail granted by the High Court and the subsequent cancellation due to allegations of intimidation against the complainant party. The delay in filing the appeal was condoned, and the court converted the petition into an appeal, allowing bail for three specific petitioners while refusing it for others. The court mandated that the petitioners furnish bail bonds of Rs.50,000 with one surety to the satisfaction of the Assistant Commissioner, ensuring they would not be arrested during the process. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the grant of bail to petitioners accused of forming an unlawful assembly and committing acts resulting in the death of an individual. The Supreme Court of Pakistan examined the circumstances under which the petitioners were originally granted bail and the implications of their subsequent actions that led to the cancellation of that bail. The decision highlights the balance between the rights of the accused and the need for public safety, particularly in cases involving serious charges like murder and intimidation. The court's ruling reinforces the importance of adhering to legal processes, including the timely filing of appeals and the necessity for petitioners to comply with bail conditions. The case also underscores the complexities involved in criminal proceedings, especially concerning the interpretation of laws under the Criminal Procedure Code and the Penal Code. Overall, the ruling serves as a significant reference point for future cases involving bail applications and the responsibilities of petitioners. |
