Decision The court allowed the bail application for the accused-petitioners based on several factors including the nature of the injury sustained by the complainant, which was on a non-vital part of the body, and the delay in medical examination. The court noted that no specific role had been attributed to the accused individuals, and the case fell into the category of further inquiry. The accused-petitioners were required to furnish bail bonds to the satisfaction of the trial court before their release.
Summary In the case of Crl. Misc. No. 340 of 2005, the Peshawar High Court deliberated on the bail application of the accused-petitioners who were involved in a criminal case under sections of the Pakistan Penal Code. The court found that the injuries sustained by the complainant were not on vital parts, and there was a significant delay in the medical examination, raising questions about the prosecution's case. Given that the accused had not been attributed a specific role in the incident, the court allowed their bail application with conditions. This case highlights the principles of bail in criminal proceedings, particularly regarding non-vital injuries and the necessity of timely medical evaluations. Legal professionals and advocates should take note of the implications of this ruling in future bail applications and criminal cases.
