Judgment & Decree
S. 497--Offence of Zina (Enforcement of Hudood) Ordinance (VII of 1979), S. 17(3)--Bail, grant of--Petitioner facing trial under S. 17(3) of Hudood Ordinance, absented himself from proceedings twice for a total period of three years--Petitioner having misused concession of bail twice, bail declined, in circumstances. Faizanul Haq for Petitioner. A.A. Muhammadally, A.A.-G. for the State. The applicant is facing trial under section 17(3) of Hudood Ordinance. He absented himself from the proceedings and non-bailable warrants were issued against him. He appeared before the Court. He remained absent for a period of six months and the Court condoned the absence. But again on 10-3-1984 the applicant absconded and did not attend the Court. He appeared on 1-9-1986 and for the second time he remained absent for 2-1/2 years. Thus, he has misused the concession of bail twice. On such grounds his application was rejected by the learned Additional Sessions Judge and I see no reason to interfere with the said order as the applicant did not care to attend the Court. The application is dismissed. S.A./Z-17/K Bail refused.
