| Decision |
The petitioner sought pre-arrest bail which was denied by the Lahore High Court. The court noted that the petitioner had previously filed three bail applications, two of which were dismissed for non-prosecution. The third application was made while suppressing the fact of earlier dismissals. The court found the petitioner's conduct to be contemptuous, as he had slipped out of the court during proceedings. The court emphasized that extraordinary concessions can only be granted in extraordinary circumstances, which were not present in this case. The petitioner's actions were deemed loathsome, leading to the dismissal of the bail application. |
