Case Number Criminal Bail Application No. 1229 of 2019
Decision Date Sep 25, 2019
Hearing Date Sep 25, 2019
Decision The Sindh High Court granted bail to the applicants (Waliullah, Abdullah, and Shams-ul-Wahid) after a compromise was reached between the accused and the legal heirs of the deceased. The court acknowledged that the applicants were unable to deposit the Diyat amount due to financial constraints and the acceptance of the compromise by the trial court. The applicants were directed to furnish solvent sureties of Rs. 30,000/- each and PR bonds of the same amount, with a six-month period allowed for them to deposit the Diyat amount before the Nazir of the trial court. The applicants are also required to appear before the trial court on the next hearing date and maintain presence for subsequent hearings.
Summary In the case of 'Criminal Bail Application No. 1229 of 2019', the Sindh High Court addressed the bail application of Waliullah, Abdullah, and Shams-ul-Wahid, accused in a homicide case. The applicants were previously denied bail by the trial court, which led them to seek relief from the High Court. The case revolved around the shooting death of Haseeb Khan, where a compromise had been reached between the accused and the deceased's legal heirs. The court recognized the financial struggles of the applicants, who indicated their inability to deposit the required Diyat amount promptly. The judge emphasized that the further detention of the applicants would not serve justice, especially since the legal heirs had waived their right to Qisas and Diyat. The court's decision highlighted the principles of justice, mercy, and the importance of considering the socio-economic realities of the accused. The applicants have been granted bail with conditions to ensure compliance with the court's directives.
