| Decision |
The court granted bail to Mushtaq Ahmed Solangi based on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence to connect him directly to the alleged fraudulent activities. The court found that further inquiry was necessary to determine whether the alleged forged entry in the Revenue Record occurred during Solangi's tenure as Mukhtiarkar or prior to it. The overwhelming evidence against the co-accused, Muhammad Boota, led to the dismissal of his bail application. The court emphasized the need for careful examination of the circumstances surrounding the issuance of the sale certificate and the allegations of forgery, ultimately concluding that Solangi was entitled to bail while Boota was not. |
