| Decision |
The petition for special leave to appeal was dismissed as it was out of time by 21 days. An application for condonation of the delay was made but was found to be inadequate. The reasons cited for the delay were deemed insufficient and not credible, particularly the claim that the petitioner's mother's cousin could not provide instructions in time. The court concluded that the petitioner failed to explain the delay satisfactorily, resulting in the dismissal of the appeal. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around a petition for special leave to appeal concerning a bail application that was dismissed by the High Court. The Supreme Court of Pakistan ruled on the petitioner's request for bail in the context of serious charges under sections of the Pakistan Penal Code. The decision emphasized procedural rules regarding timely submissions and the necessity of justifying delays in legal processes. Key issues included the credibility of the reasons for delay and the responsibility of the petitioner to provide detailed explanations. The ruling serves as a reminder of the stringent adherence to timelines in legal proceedings. It underscores the importance of diligent legal representation and the impact of procedural lapses on the outcome of serious criminal cases. |
