Hearing Date Mar 04, 2008
Decision The Lahore High Court granted pre-arrest bail to the petitioners, Nazeer Ahmad and Muhammad Tayyab, confirming the previous bail order dated 25.02.2009. The court found that the complainant party had unlawfully trespassed into the petitioners' residence and initiated an attack, which was deemed a reaction to the complainant's actions. The court noted that the injuries attributed to the petitioners fell within the purview of a bailable offence, while the case against the co-accused did not meet the criteria for prohibition under Section 497(1) of the Criminal Procedure Code. The petitioners were required to furnish fresh bail bonds of Rs. 50,000 each with surety to the satisfaction of the trial court.
