| Decision |
The Sindh High Court ruled on the bail application of the accused involved in Crime No. 3 of 2004. After reviewing the facts, including the discrepancies in the police mashirnamas and the lack of independent witnesses, the Court found sufficient grounds for further inquiry. The accused was granted bail on the condition of providing solvent surety of Rs. 3 lacs. The Court emphasized that most charges against the applicant are bailable, and the absence of serious injury or credible witnesses diminished the prosecution's case. Thus, the decision was made to admit the applicant to bail. |
| Summary |
In the case of Bail Application No. 174 of 2007, the Sindh High Court addressed the bail application of an accused charged under multiple sections of the Pakistan Penal Code and the Criminal Procedure Code. The applicant's counsel argued that the police's evidence was inconsistent, particularly regarding the mashirnamas which contradicted each other. The Court took into account the absence of independent witnesses and the nature of the injuries reported. The judges concluded that the case warranted further inquiry, allowing the accused to be released on bail. This case highlights critical aspects of criminal law, including the principles of bail and the necessity for credible evidence in prosecutions. Legal practitioners often reference this case when discussing bail applications and the evidentiary standards required in criminal proceedings. |
