This case revolves around the granting of bail to petitioners Munir Ahmad and Imtiaz Hussain, who were convicted of various offences under the Pakistan Penal Code, including murder (section 302) and attempt to commit murder (section 324). The trial court had sentenced petitioner No. 1 to life imprisonment and imposed fines on both petitioners.
