The petitioner, Muhammad Asim, is granted bail in the sum of Rs. 1,00,000 with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned trial court.

The evidence regarding the nature of injuries will be established after recording further evidence. The decision emphasizes that the injuries were not fabricated and highlights the necessity of determining who initiated the aggression in the conflict. The ruling reflects the principle of consistency in granting bail, especially since co-accused were already released on bail. |
