Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author)
Order Date: 15-JUL-24
The only question involved in the present bail matter is whether the bail can be refused in section 471 PPC., which is a bailable offense, whereas Sections 406 & 468 are punishable by up to seven years. In such circumstances, when the offenses do not fall within the prohibition contained in Section 497(1) Cr. P.C and punishment of the offense is less than 10 years, the Supreme Court in the case of Iftikhar Ahmed v The State PLD 2021 SC 799 has given loud and clear directions to all courts in the country that granting of bail in offenses not falling within the prohibitory limb of section 497, Cr.P.C. shall be a rule, and refusal shall be an exception.Full judgment text for this case is not yet available on Pakistan Law Reports.
