In these three bail applications the bail application No.S-285 of 2025 is post-arrest whereas other two are pre-arrest bail applications wherein the applicants require bail in Crime No.16 of 2023 Police Station, Patni u/s 324, 148, 149 & 337-D PPC, according to which they are said to have committed the overt act alongwith other persons wherein specific allegations has been made against accused Hubdar Ali Jatoi, applicant of Crl. Bail Application No.S-285 of 2025.

 

Learned counsel for applicants in Crl. Bail applications No.S-466 and 556 of 2025 state that there is one day delay and that though  firing has been attributed to the said applicants same is  apparently ineffective. It is also contended that only empties of Kalashnikov and Pistol are said to have been recovered from spot whereas, no collection of blood stain earth and clothes has been shown. It is also contended that the applicant in bail application No.S-556/2025 is a Govt. servant and is reportedly on duty at Johi district Dadu for which document has been annexed. As to the post-arrest bail application bearing No.S-285 of 2025 learned counsel has primarily taken medical ground contending that open heart surgery of the applicant is required by way of report dated 16.06.2025. It is also contended that five persons are nominated and only one injury has been reported. It is also contended that no recovery has been effected in the matter.

Learned counsel for complainant in Crl. Bail Application No.S-466 of 2025 contends that firing has been attributed though in effective against the said applicant the joint liability is ever present. Learned counsel for complainant in Crl. Bail Application No.S-556 of 2025 adopts the same arguments, however, on behalf of learned counsel for the complainant in bail application No.285 of 2025 adjournment is being sought on the ground that the concerned counsel is out of city. Learned counsels relies upon cases reported in 1982 SCMR 975, 1986 SCMR 847, 1998 SCMR 1065, 2004 SCMR 15, 2006 SCMR 1225 and 2003 P.Cr.LJ 855.

 

During course of arguments Mr. Abdul Waheed Mahar, Advocate files Vakalatnama on behalf of complainant in Crl. Bail Application No.S-556 of 2025, taken on record.

 

Learned Deputy Prosecutor General however, contended that delay has been explained in the FIR as the injured was to be taken to the hospital. It is further contended in respect to the post-arrest application though no recovery is attributed in the matter it is to be considered that the applicant acquired bail by way of bail application bearing No.S-122 of 2024 which was dismissed whereafter eventually he sought protective bail and thereafter pre-arrest bail in bail application No.104 of 2025 all of which have been dismissed. He further contends that the medical report brought-up has not shown any danger to the life of the applicant. In respect to the pre-arrest bail application it is also contended that active participation of the said applicants are present in the FIR which is duly supported by 161 Cr.P.C. He relies upon the cases reported in 2020 SCMR 2089 and 2006 SCMR 966.

 

Learned counsels having been heard let the matters be taken-up on 08.09.2025 wherein learned counsel for applicant in bail application No.S-285 of 2025 may be heard in person or he may submit written submission if personal attendance is not available however, the said matter is liable to be considered on the basis of record present and whatsoever assistance as may be available on the said date.
