Case Number Cr. M. B.A. No. 2610-P of 2017
Decision Date Dec 22, 2017
Hearing Date
Decision The court denied bail to the petitioner, Gulzar, citing multiple factors including the nature of the crime, the medical reports indicating multiple entry wounds on the deceased, and the fact that the petitioner had absconded from the law for over a year. The court emphasized that the roles attributed to the accused were not similar to those of other cases where bail had been granted, as the evidence indicated a more severe involvement in the crime. The decision was made to uphold the previous ruling of the Additional Sessions Judge, which also had refused bail to the petitioner, highlighting the seriousness of the charges under sections 302, 324, and 34 of the Pakistan Penal Code.
Summary In the case of Cr. M. B.A. No. 2610-P of 2017, the Peshawar High Court addressed the bail application of the petitioner, Gulzar, against serious charges of murder and attempted murder under the Pakistan Penal Code. The court examined evidence including medical reports that revealed multiple entry wounds inflicted on the victim, Khalid, suggesting a brutal attack. The court noted the petitioner's previous absconding status and the involvement of his co-accused, which contributed to the decision to refuse bail. The ruling referenced previous case law to differentiate the petitioner's situation from those granted bail in similar circumstances. Ultimately, the court reinforced the importance of evaluating the severity of the charges and the evidence presented before them in determining the right to bail.
