| Decision |
The petitioner, (Mst.) Yasmeen, was allowed bail in the sum of Rs. 20,000 with two sureties of the same amount, to the satisfaction of the A.C./Duty Magistrate, Gujranwala. The court considered the fact that the petitioner was initially an alleged abductee and was later implicated as an accused due to her refusal to support the complainant's case. Additionally, it was noted that she had been in judicial custody for over six months and was neither a previous convict nor a hardened criminal. The decision highlighted the importance of judicial discretion in granting bail under the relevant provisions of the law. |
| Summary |
In the case of Crl. Misc. No. 153-B of 1994, the Lahore High Court addressed the bail application of (Mst.) Yasmeen, who was implicated under the Offence of Zina and Offence of Qazf Ordinances. The court examined the circumstances surrounding her accusation, noting her prior status as an alleged abductee and her subsequent wrongful implication due to her refusal to support the complainant's assertions. The decision emphasized the judicial principles governing bail, particularly the need for fairness and the consideration of the accused's background. The court ultimately granted bail, reinforcing the significance of adhering to legal standards and protecting individuals' rights in the justice system. This case is pivotal in discussions around the enforcement of Hudood laws and the treatment of accused individuals within the legal framework. Key terms include bail, Hudood Ordinances, judicial custody, and legal rights, which are crucial for understanding the implications of this ruling. |
