As observed in PLD 2008 Karachi 492 a person who makes\r\nvoluntary appearance is neither under any custody nor under any restraint and\r\nhis voluntary appearance per se before the Court of law cannot be construed as\r\n\u0026quot;custody\u0026quot;. Such a person is not entitled to claim bail under these\r\nsections. If the Magistrate still grants him bail it amounts to bail before\r\narrest.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c/o:p\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp class=AltK style=\u0027margin-bottom:10.0pt\u0027\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0027font-size:11.0pt;\r\nfont-family:\"Times New Roman\"\u0027\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0027mso-tab-count:1\u0027\u003e       \u003c/span\u003eThe\r\npractice of accepting surrender by a Magistrate thus being not in consonance\r\nwith the settled principles of law enunciated by the Hon\u0027ble apex Court, needs\r\nto be discontinued forthwith.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c/o:p\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp class=AltDCenter style=\u0027margin-bottom:10.0pt\u0027\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0027font-size:11.0pt;\r\nfont-family:\"Times New Roman\"\u0027\u003e----------\u003co:p\u003e\u003c/o:p\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp class=AltDCenter style=\u0027margin-bottom:10.0pt\u0027\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0027font-size:11.0pt;\r\nfont-family:\"Times New Roman\"\u0027\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/o:p\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp class=AltDCenter style=\u0027margin-bottom:10.0pt\u0027\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0027font-size:11.0pt;\r\nfont-family:\"Times New Roman\"\u0027\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/o:p\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp class=AltDCenter style=\u0027margin-bottom:10.0pt\u0027\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0027font-size:11.0pt;\r\nfont-family:\"Times New Roman\"\u0027\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/o:p\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv style=\u0027mso-element:endnote-list\u0027\u003e\u003c![if !supportEndnotes]\u003e\u003cbr clear=all\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003chr align=left size=1 width=\"33%\"\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c![endif]\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv style=\u0027mso-element:endnote\u0027 id=edn1\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp class=AltB\u003e\u003ca style=\u0027mso-endnote-id:edn1\u0027 href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\"\r\ntitle=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=MsoEndnoteReference\u003e*\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/a\u003e \u003cspan style=\u0027mso-tab-count:\r\n1\u0027\u003e       \u003c/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0027font-size:8.0pt\u0027\u003eDecision given in ignorance or\r\nforgetfulness of some inconsistent statutory provision or of some authority\r\nbinding on\u003cspan style=\u0027mso-spacerun:yes\u0027\u003e  \u003c/span\u003ethe Court concerned.\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c/body\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c/html\u003e\r\n"
