Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan Iqbal Chaudhry(Author)
Order Date: 27-NOV-19
In section 395 PPC, while the alternative to life imprisonment is rigorous punishment which shall not be less than four years nor more than ten years, that alternative punishment still provides for a maximum of 10 years, keeping the offence within the prohibitory clause of section 497 Cr.P.C. Thus, at the stage of bail when the Court looks at the alternate punishment provided under section 395 PPC, that is for the purposes of considering whether the case is one of further inquiry within the ambit of sub-section (2) of section 497 Cr.P.C., and it is not to say that the case does not fall within the prohibitory clause of section 497 Cr.P.C.Full judgment text for this case is not yet available on Pakistan Law Reports.
