2574/2023 Cr.Bail ARSHAN S/O MUHAMMAD NASIR (Applicant) V/S THE STATE (Respondent)
Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author)
Order Date: 03-JUL-24
It is a well-settled principle that in a rape case, the solitary statement of the survivor victim is sufficient to form a tentative opinion. Upon a tentative assessment, and by looking into the ordeal of the victim and her family I am not inclined to endorse the viewpoint of the applicant at this stage for the simple reason that bail before arrest is meant to protect innocent citizens who have been involved in heinous offenses with mala fide and ulterior motives, however in the present case no such ground existed in favor of the applicant to show that there was a malafide intention or ulterior motive on the part of the complainant/victim to book the applicant in the rape case.Full judgment text for this case is not yet available on Pakistan Law Reports.
