| Decision |
The bail application of accused-petitioner Bashir-ul-Haq was accepted as he was empty-handed at the time of the occurrence and was not charged with firing at the deceased. The court found that the involvement of the accused needed further inquiry, and since the investigation was complete, he was not required for further investigation. The court noted that the accused had been behind bars for a long time, and the trial's timeline was uncertain. Therefore, it was determined that a good case for bail had been made, and the petitioner was to be released on bail, provided he furnished bail bonds in the sum of Rs. 2,00,000 with two sureties. |
