Holding
The court exercised its discretion to grant temporary bail for ten days on condition of a personal bond and weekly police reporting, given the applicant's prior compliance and humanitarian grounds.
Summary
The applicant, Mohammad Juber Sakir Shaikh, filed a temporary bail application seeking a 30‑day release to provide financial support to his family and obtain medical treatment for his ailing mother. The State waived service of notice. The court noted that the applicant had previously been released in April 2024 and had complied with reporting requirements. Considering the humanitarian grounds and the applicant's past compliance, the court exercised its discretion in his favour. The application was allowed in part, granting temporary bail for ten days upon furnishing a personal bond of Rs.10,000 and a condition to report weekly to the nearest police station, with a direction to surrender after the bail period expires.
Issues considered
- Whether temporary bail should be granted on humanitarian grounds of financial assistance and medical treatment of the applicant's mother
- Whether the applicant's prior compliance with bail conditions justifies the grant of temporary bail
