| Decision |
The Sindh High Court dismissed the bail applications of the applicants charged under section 395 of the Penal Code, relating to dacoity. The court found sufficient evidence, including call data records and possession of snatched items, to connect the applicants with the alleged offenses. The explanations for delays in filing FIRs were deemed plausible, and the applicants did not provide evidence of false implication. The court emphasized that the delay in lodging FIRs alone does not warrant bail unless supported by other circumstances. As such, the applications were dismissed for lack of merit. |
| Summary |
In this case, the Sindh High Court dealt with criminal bail applications concerning serious charges of dacoity under section 395 of the Penal Code. The court's decision was based on a thorough examination of the evidence, including the recovery of stolen mobile phones and cash from the applicants, which were directly linked to the crimes. The court highlighted the importance of timely FIRs and the need for corroborative evidence to justify bail. The ruling serves as a reminder of the rigorous standards that must be met for bail in serious criminal offenses and underscores the court's commitment to upholding justice by ensuring that those accused of heinous crimes face appropriate legal scrutiny. The decision reaffirms the principle that mere delays in FIR filing do not automatically entitle applicants to bail.
