| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan refused leave to appeal against the Lahore High Court's decision that denied bail to the petitioners on serious charges including murder. The court emphasized that the bail application lacked legal infirmity and that the allegations against the petitioners were more severe than those in the cross case, where the accused were released on bail. Thus, the refusal of bail was justified given the circumstances surrounding the case. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around a criminal petition for special leave to appeal against a decision from the Lahore High Court regarding bail for serious charges including murder and attempted murder. The petitioners, Imranuddin and others, were denied bail by the Lahore High Court, which highlighted the gravity of the charges against them. The Supreme Court of Pakistan upheld this decision, stating that the High Court's reasoning was sound and that the fact that other individuals involved in a cross case were granted bail did not warrant a similar decision for the petitioners. They faced direct charges including the murder of Muhammad Arshad, which was deemed too serious for bail. This case underscores the judicial scrutiny involved in bail applications under the Criminal Procedure Code and the Penal Code, emphasizing the court's role in maintaining the integrity of the justice system. The decision reflects the principles of criminal law, particularly regarding the seriousness of allegations and the conditions under which bail may be granted or denied.
