The appellant was convicted under Section 322 PPC and was sentenced to pay diyat money to the legal heirs of the deceased by learned Additional Sessions Judge-XI, Karachi South vide judgment dated 03.12.2021, which is impugned by the appellant before this Court by preferring the instant appeal and in the meanwhile, he by way of listed application under Section 426 Cr.P.C has sought for his release on bail pending disposal of his appeal, for the reason that there is no likelihood of early disposal of his appeal, which is opposed by learned Addl. P.G for the state by stating that hearing of the appeal of the appellant would take no time.

Heard arguments and perused record.

Admittedly the appellant is in jail for want of payment of diyat money and hearing of his appeal is likely to take time, consequently, the operation of the sentence awarded to him is suspended and he is directed to be released on bail, subject to his furnishing surety in sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand Only) and PR bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of Nazir of this Court.

Instant listed application is disposed of accordingly.

Adjourned to be fixed 03 weeks for hearing of main appeal
