|
| Decision |
The Supreme Court dismissed the petition for special leave to appeal, stating that the case is not appropriate for a bail application at this stage as the trial is scheduled to commence shortly. The petitioners were involved in a murder case but their names were not included in the FIR, which was a point of contention. However, the court noted that their involvement was revealed during the investigation. The court emphasized the importance of proceeding with the trial rather than delving into the merits of the case at the bail stage, leading to the dismissal of the petition. |
| Summary |
In the case of Criminal Petition for Special Leave to Appeal No. K 24 of 1979, the Supreme Court of Pakistan examined a request for bail from petitioners involved in the murder of Nasim Kharal, an advocate. The petitioners argued that their names were not mentioned in the FIR, which should warrant their release. However, the Advocate General countered that evidence during the investigation implicated them in a conspiracy to commit murder. The court determined that the case was set to go to trial soon and it was not appropriate to assess the merits of the case at the bail application stage. Thus, the court dismissed the petition for special leave to appeal. This case highlights significant issues surrounding the legal process in criminal cases, including the interpretation of FIRs and the timing of bail applications. Legal professionals and scholars may find this case particularly relevant for understanding the complexities of criminal law and procedural justice in Pakistan. |
