| Decision |
The Lahore High Court granted post-arrest bail to the petitioner, Dilawar, in a case involving serious accusations under the Pakistan Penal Code. The court noted significant delays in reporting the alleged crime, indicating potential mala fide intentions by the police and the complainant. The petitioner had been in custody since December 2, 2017, with no substantial progress in the trial. The court emphasized that further incarceration of the petitioner would not serve any useful purpose for the prosecution, allowing bail subject to certain conditions. |
