| Decision |
The court found that the accused had absconded for ten years and was shown as a proclaimed offender by the Trial Court. The accused did not surrender before the Court of law or before the acquittal order of co-accused. The court concluded that the accused was not entitled to the concession of bail based on the circumstances surrounding the case, which included armed robbery and a history of absconding after committing serious offenses. The acquittal of the other co-accused did not entitle the accused to bail under the current legal framework. |
| Summary |
In the case of Criminal Bail Application No. 575 of 2001, the Sindh High Court addressed significant legal issues regarding the grant of bail under the Criminal Procedure Code and related laws. The applicant, ABDUL GHANI, sought bail after being charged with serious offenses, including armed robbery and offenses against property. The court scrutinized the evidence presented, highlighting the absence of independent witnesses and the long history of the accused being a proclaimed offender. The court emphasized that the accused's failure to surrender and the serious nature of the charges precluded the possibility of bail. This case underscores the stringent measures in place for granting bail in serious criminal offenses and the importance of a thorough evaluation of the circumstances surrounding each case. |
