HAMEEDULLAH (Applicant) VS THE STATE (Respondent)

ORDER SHEET

IN THE HIGH COURT OF SINDH,

CIRCUIT COURT, HYDERABAD

Cr. Rev. Application No.S-147 of 2019

DATE ORDER WITH SIGNATURE OF JUDGE

1.For orders on M.A No.10238/2019

Mr. Om Parkash, advocate for applicant

1.Urgency granted.

By means of instant criminal revision application the applicant has sought for reduction of surety amount, which is fixed by learned trial Court for his release on bail pending trial.

It is contended by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is a minor, it is accident case, therefore, learned trial Court by ordering the release of the applicant on bail subject to furnishing surety equal to “Diyat” amount has committed wrong which could be made right by this Court. By contending so, he sought for reduction of the surety amount to reasonable extent.

Ms. Safa Hisbani learned APG for the State, present in Court in some other matters waives notice and prayed for dismissal of instant criminal revision application by contending that surety fixed by the learned trial Court equivalent to Diyat is justified in the circumstances of the case.

Heard the learned counsel for parties.

It is accidental case and same is yet to be proved or otherwise. In that situation ordering the applicant to be released on bail subject to his furnishing surety equivalent to “Diyat” amount (Rs.23,00,000/-) is not justified, it is reduced to Rs.5,00,000/- (five lac) and PR Bond in the like amount.

Instant criminal revision application is disposed of accordingly.
