S.4
Constitution of Pakistan (1973) Art. 199 Modification of condition of bail‑‑Accused detained under Foreigners Act (XXXI of 1946) was granted hail subject to condition that he was to present himself before Deputy Commissioner every month‑‑Such condition, held could not be modified in exercise of Constitutional jurisdiction. Abdul Waheed Siddiqui for Petitioner. AJMAL MIAN, J.‑‑ This petition is in fact for the discharge of the bail condition which was granted on 19‑3‑1984 in Constitutional Petition No. D‑514 of 1984 wherein it was provided that the persons admitted to bail would present themselves before the Deputy Commissioner concerned every month. The reason for imposing the above condition was that they were detained under the Foreigners Act and Court had proceeded on the assumption that till the competent authority decides otherwise they were foreigners. In our view, we cannot modify the above bail condition. The proper course for the aforesaid persons would be to get an order of the competent authority that they were Pakistani citizens, till then they are to be treated as foreigners and the above condition is to be fulfilled.
