Judgment & Decree
Zaheer Ahmed v. The State 1983 PCr.LJ 2600 ref. Muhammad Ayaz Soomro for Applicant. Muhammad Ismail Bhutto for the State. Muhammad Ayaz Soomro, Advocate for applicant has filed this application for grant of bail to applicant Haq Nawaz whose bail bond was cancelled on 14-2-1998 on account of his failure to attend the Court and was remanded to custody on adjournment date of hearing viz. 10-3-1998 and since then he is in custody. The learned counsel appearing for the applicant has argued that the applicant was granted bail on merits and on 14-2-1998 he had failed to attend the Court on account of his illness and for that he had submitted application but that application was rejected and when he voluntarily appeared in Court on 10-3 1998 he was taken into custody and was remanded to jail. The learned counsel has urged that non-appearance of the applicant on the date of hearing was neither intentional nor deliberate and further that he has remained in custody for a period of more than one month for absence of one date of hearing and thus he has been sufficiently punished. The learned counsel has also placed reliance on the case of Zaheer Ahmed v. The State in 1983 PCr. LJ 2600. Mr. Muhammad Ismail Bhutto, learned counsel appearing for the State has no objection to the grant of bail to the applicant. As the applicant has remained in custody for more than one month and it appears that he has been sufficiently punished for his absence on one date of hearing viz. 14-2-1998. The applicant now deserves the concession of bail. In view of the above circumstances and no objection by the State Counsel, it is ordered that the applicant shall be released on bail subject to his furnishing one surety in the sum of Rs. 100,000 and P.R. Bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of Trial Court. This Criminal Bail Application No.101 of 1998 stands disposed of. H.B.T./H-65/K Bail granted.
