Petitioner: REHMATULLAH VS Respondent: THE STATE-
Court Name: Sindh High Court Judge(s): Mamoon Kazi Title: REHMATULLAH vs THE STATE- Case No.: Criminal Bail Application No. 1866 of 1986 Date of Judgment:1987-01-01 Reported As: 1987 P Cr. L J 1409 Result: Bail allowed
Judgment ORDER The applicant stands charged for committing offence under Article 4 of the Prohibition (Enforcement of Hadd) Order, 1979 for being found in possession of 80 Puris of Heroin powder allegedly recovered from his house. Admittedly, the case was not cognizable as only those offences punishable under Article 4 are cognizable which have been committed at a public place. Reliance in this connection has been placed on 1985 PCr.LJ 1553 wherein a learned Single Judge of this Court granted bail to the accused under similar circumstances. Under the circumstances, it is directed that the applicant be, released on bail. However, as cases of trafficking in narcotics are becoming common these days and it hardly needs to be emphasised that persons dealing in such drugs are a menace for the entire society in the country, therefore, the amount of bond should be fixed with due regard to the frequent occurrence of such cases. The applicant shall, therefore, furnish one surety in the sum of Rs. 1,00,000 to the satisfaction of the trial Court.
