| Decision |
The court granted bail to the petitioners Rao Noor Alam and Dil Muhammad based on the vague allegations regarding the preparation of a forged deed. The FIR did not clearly state if the accused had defrauded the complainant or produced the forged deed before any court. The dispute was deemed civil in nature and suitable for resolution through demarcation by revenue officials. The case required further inquiry into the petitioners' guilt, leading to the acceptance of their bail applications. |
| Summary |
In the case of Rao Noor Alam vs. The State, the Lahore High Court addressed two connected bail applications. The petitioners were accused of preparing a fresh forged deed related to a property dispute. The FIR filed by Syed Dilawar Abbas claimed that Rao Noor Alam had illegally possessed land belonging to Abbas's mother, using a forged deed. Despite previous court rulings favoring the complainant, new allegations of forgery emerged, leading to bail applications. The court found the allegations vague, emphasizing the civil nature of the dispute and the need for further inquiry, ultimately granting bail. This case highlights the complexities of property disputes and the legal standards for granting bail in criminal cases, particularly when civil claims are involved. |
