MUHAMMAD BAKHSH vs THE STATE

Citation1989 MLD 4376
CourtLahore High Court
Case No.Criminal Miscellaneous No.63/M of 1989
Date1989-06-04
Judge(s)Muhammad Munir Khan
ResultPetition dismissed

1. Firstly, to pass order that Mst. Elahi Sain shall only be released on the bail-bonds of her father, and Secondly, that after her release, her custody be delivered to him.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in case Mst. Elahi Sam is released on the bail bonds furnished by a person other than her father, the apprehension is that she will indulge in Zina.

2. I have considered the submissions made by the learned counsel with care. I do not agree with him.

3. Mst. Elahi Sain is a sui-juris. She cannot be forced to live with her father. By filing surety bonds, the surety does not become entitled to the custody of the accused. In case the accused person is physically delivered to a surety, this would tantamount to depriving him/her of his liberty on the pretext of surety bonds. Mst. Elahi Sain has refused to come out from jail on the surety of her father.

4. If the condition prayed for by the learned counsel is imposed in the instant case, this will render bail order of the learned Sessions Judge as ineffective and nullity.

5. Pursuant to the above discussion, the petition is dismissed in limine.

6. S.A./M-1585/L
