| Decision |
The application for suspension of conviction and sentence was dismissed. The court found that the inquiry report presented by the appellants was not part of the record and could not prevail over the investigation. The court underscored that the appeal regarding conviction and sentence exceeding three years must be pursued within a year of the conviction. The appellants failed to deposit the required Paper-Book Cost, contributing to the delay. Furthermore, the court noted that it is not a strict rule to allow suspension of sentences for short-term convictions, and neither the appellants nor their counsel expressed a willingness to deposit the required Arsh amount. Therefore, the court concluded that the appellants were not entitled to bail based on the suspension of their conviction and sentence. |
| Summary |
In the case of Muneer Ahmed and Jamil Ahmed vs. The State, the Sindh High Court evaluated the application under section 426 of the Criminal Procedure Code for the suspension of conviction and sentence. The appellants were convicted for offenses under sections 324 and 337-D of the Penal Code, receiving a sentence of five years and fines. The court dismissed the application due to the lack of record supporting the inquiry report that declared the appellants innocent. The ruling emphasized that the appeal process must adhere to stipulated timelines and that the appellants' failure to meet procedural requirements undermined their position. The decision highlights the importance of complying with legal procedures in criminal appeals and the discretionary powers of courts in granting bail. |
