| Decision |
The Sindh High Court allowed bail to Muhammad Akram in the sum of Rs. 10,000 with one surety. The court acknowledged the prosecution's case against Akram was primarily based on the allegation of lalkara, stating that he was not armed, no weapon was recovered from him, and he did not play an active role in the attack. The court emphasized that the applicability of section 34 of the Pakistan Penal Code would be determined by the trial court after evaluating the evidence presented. This decision highlights the importance of thorough evidence evaluation in determining bail applications in serious criminal cases. |
| Summary |
In the case of Muhammad Akram vs. The State, the Sindh High Court addressed a bail application concerning serious charges of murder under the Pakistan Penal Code. The court examined the facts surrounding the case, noting that the prosecution's argument relied heavily on the allegation of lalkara. The court considered the absence of any weapon recovered from the petitioner and the lack of active participation in the alleged attack. The learned counsel for the applicant argued effectively, citing a precedent where bail was granted under similar circumstances. Ultimately, the court granted bail, underscoring the principle that the evidence must be evaluated comprehensively before making determinations regarding bail in homicide cases. This ruling serves as a significant reference point in criminal law, particularly regarding bail procedures and the interpretation of common intention under section 34 of the Pakistan Penal Code.
