Case Number Criminal Bail Application No. S-552 of 2006
Decision Date Dec 04, 2006
Hearing Date
Decision The bail application of the applicant, Ibrahim, was granted based on the assessment of the allegations against him and his co-accused, as well as the duration of his custody. The court noted that the applicant had been in custody since January 19, 2006, and highlighted that out of six nominated accused, three had already been admitted to bail. The specific injury attributed to him did not fall within the prohibitory clause of Section 497(1) of the Criminal Procedure Code. Given these considerations, the court ordered his release on bail upon furnishing a surety of Rs. 1,00,000 and a personal bond in the same amount to the satisfaction of the trial court.
Summary This case revolves around the bail application of Ibrahim, one of the accused in a criminal case involving serious allegations under the Penal Code. The Sindh High Court assessed the role of all six accused, noting that the applicant's involvement was similar to that of his co-accused, except for a specific injury attributed to him. The court emphasized the importance of the duration of custody, which exceeded ten months, and the fact that several co-accused had already been granted bail. The decision to allow bail was grounded in the legal provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code and the Penal Code, ensuring that the applicant's rights were upheld while balancing the interests of justice. This case highlights the judicial approach to bail applications and the factors considered in such decisions, including the nature of allegations and the rights of the accused. Keywords such as 'bail application', 'Sindh High Court', and 'Criminal Procedure Code' are essential for understanding the legal context and implications of this ruling.
