Legal Summary
Case: Inaam Amin Minhas, J. — Criminal Revision under Sections 435 & 439 Cr.P.C.
Tagline
“Bail once granted cannot be cancelled merely because a penal section carrying a prohibitory punishment was subsequently disclosed or added; cancellation requires exceptional and legally recognized grounds such as misuse of bail, interference with investigation/evidence, abscondence, or a patently illegal bail order.”
Core Facts
The petitioner was arrested in FIR No. 496 dated 28.07.2023, P.S. Tarnol, Islamabad, initially involving Sections 420, 468, 471, 381 & 34 PPC.
The petitioner was granted post-arrest bail by the Judicial Magistrate on 03.10.2024, partly following the principle of consistency, because the co-accused had already been granted bail.
