| Decision |
The petitioner, along with four other accused, was charged with the murder of Ajayab Khan. The petitioner applied for bail after his request was denied by the Additional Sessions Judge and subsequently by the Lahore High Court. The petitioner contended that there was no direct attribution of a blow causing death to him, as evidence indicated that the fatal injuries were inflicted by co-accused. The court acknowledged that another co-accused had been granted bail and admitted the petitioner to bail under similar circumstances, thus allowing his release with conditions. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the bail application of Muhammad Nazir, who was charged with murder alongside four others. The Supreme Court of Pakistan examined the circumstances under which the petitioner was denied bail by the lower courts and the implications of the evidence presented. The decision highlighted the importance of direct attribution in murder charges, where the medical evidence indicated that the deceased died from head injuries inflicted by co-accused. The court's ruling to grant bail reflects the critical balance between the rights of the accused and the severity of the charges. This case is significant in understanding the nuances of bail applications in serious criminal cases, particularly regarding the evidence required to link an accused directly to the offense.
