| Decision |
The Lahore High Court granted bail to the petitioner, Abdul Hafeez, under the Criminal Procedure Code (V of 1898) Section 497(2). The court determined that the petitioner was not primarily responsible for the murder of Nabi Bakhsh and had not facilitated the commission of the crime. The court noted that the allegations against the petitioner were limited to causing blunt weapon injuries after the deceased had already suffered fatal fire-arm injuries at the hands of a co-accused. The court emphasized the need for further inquiry and admitted the petitioner to bail with conditions. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the grant of bail to Abdul Hafeez, who was accused in the F.I.R. No.964 of 1999 under various sections of the Penal Code, including 392, 324, and 337-F(i)/(ii). The key legal points involved were the interpretation of the Criminal Procedure Code regarding bail under Section 497(2). The court found that the evidence did not substantiate the claim that the petitioner facilitated the murder, as he allegedly caused injuries with a blunt weapon after the deceased had already suffered from fire-arm injuries. This case highlights the importance of thorough investigation and the judicial discretion in granting bail.
