Holding
The Court exercised its discretion and granted temporary bail for seven days with a bond and reporting conditions.
Summary
Abdul Wazid Abdul Sahid Shekh applied for temporary bail, citing the need for financial assistance to his family and to perform the funeral rites of his maternal grandmother. The Additional Public Prosecutor waived service of notice on behalf of the State. The Court examined the applicant's grounds and the jail remarks, and exercised its discretion in his favour. It granted temporary bail for a period of seven days, subject to a personal bond of Rs.10,000 and conditions to surrender after the period and to report to the nearest police station on the 3rd and 5th days. The order was communicated to the jail authority.
Issues considered
- Whether temporary bail should be granted on humanitarian grounds of family financial hardship and funeral rites
- Whether the Court may exercise its discretion to grant temporary bail despite the prosecution's position
