| Decision |
The Sindh High Court granted interim pre-arrest bail to the applicant, Haji Khudan, confirming the bail previously granted. The court acknowledged the absence of the accused on the hearing date, which led to the issuance of non-bailable warrants. The counsel argued that the absence was due to the warrants and sought suspension of the warrants, which was not opposed by the prosecution. The court agreed to suspend the non-bailable warrants for two weeks, allowing the applicant to appear before the trial court for further proceedings. |

The court ruled in favor of the applicant, suspending the non-bailable warrants for two weeks, allowing him to present himself before the trial court for further proceedings. This case highlights the legal principles surrounding bail applications and the importance of due process in criminal proceedings. |
