| Decision |
The court granted bail to the applicant, Muhammad Salman Ahmed Siddiqui, based on the circumstances of the case which indicated further inquiry was warranted. The applicant was accused of possessing counterfeit US Dollar notes, but the evidence presented suggested that the black currency notes recovered from him could potentially be converted into genuine currency. The court emphasized that deeper evaluation of evidence was not permitted at this stage, thus allowing bail on the condition of providing a surety in the sum of Rs.300,000 with a PR Bond of the same amount, to be verified by the trial court. |
