Applicant
Muhammad Tariq Qureshi seeks pre-arrest bail in FIR No.333/2026, registered at
P.S. Sachal for offence under Section 324, 34, PPC read with Section 3, 4 of
the Lawyers Welfare and Protection Act, 2023.
2. Brief
facts of the instant case are that complainant, who is practicing advocate,
went to attend Iftar Party at Plot No.2-CS, Gulshan-e-Mustafa, Society
Scheme-33, Karachi, where present applicant along with his 3 companions came on
motorcycle, who were armed with weapon whereas applicant was having dragger in
his hand, he attacked on complainant, resultantly complainant sustained injury
on his right hand, hence the subject FIR.
3. Learned
counsel for applicant submits that complainant of this case is a practicing
advocate and he has falsely managed this FIR to falsely implicate the applicant
with mala fide intentions and ulterior motives; that no such incident has
occurred and Section 324, PPC is misapplied; that parties have settled their
dispute outside the Court.
4. Complainant,
who is a practicing advocate, is called absent, however, his associate Mr.
Riazuddin, advocate, is present and admits that the parties have settled their
dispute outside the Court and on instructions of the complainant, he has recorded
no objection for grant of pre-arrest bail to applicant. Learned A.P.G. has
recorded no objection.
5. Heard
learned counsel for applicant, Mr. Riazuddin, advocate, associate of
complainant, learned A.P.G. and perused the material available on record.
6. There
is no medical certificate, which can substantiate the allegations of
complainant leveled against the applicant that he attempted to commit his
murder; that without any medical certificate Section 324, PPC requires
evidence. Moreover, parties have settled their dispute outside the Court and
alleged offence is compoundable, therefore, interim pre-arrest bail granted to
the applicant by this Court vide order dated 24.02.2026 is confirmed on the
same terms and conditions.
7. The
observations made herein above are tentative in nature, the same would not
prejudice the case of either party at trial.
