| Decision |
The Balochistan High Court dismissed the second bail application of Muhammad Sultan, as there were no fresh grounds presented since the previous application had already been rejected on merit. The accused was apprehended while transporting 4000 grams of charas, and the court emphasized that the earlier rejection considered all arguments presented. This decision is based on established legal precedents indicating that a second bail application must be supported by new evidence or grounds that did not exist at the time of the first application. |
