| Decision |
The petitioners sought leave to appeal against the Lahore High Court's dismissal of their revision petition. The court found no flaws in the High Court's reasoning and dismissed the petitioners' request for leave to appeal. The petitioners, who had stood surety for an accused person who absconded, faced forfeiture of their bail bonds and were ordered to be sent to civil prison for six months. The order for attachment and sale of their immovable property was also upheld. The court held that the High Court's dismissal of the revision petition was justified and did not warrant intervention. |
| Summary |
This case pertains to the forfeiture of bail bonds under the Criminal Procedure Code (V of 1898) following the absconding of an accused individual. The Supreme Court of Pakistan reviewed the petitioners' appeal against the Lahore High Court's dismissal of their revision petition. The petitioners had executed bail bonds but failed to ensure the accused's presence in court, leading to legal repercussions including forfeiture of the bail amount and civil imprisonment. The court upheld the High Court's findings, emphasizing adherence to legal processes concerning bail and surety obligations. This case underscores the critical importance of compliance with bail conditions and the legal consequences of absconding. |
