Petitioner: IQBAL HUSSAIN VS Respondent: THE STATE
Court Name: Sindh High Court Judge(s): Muhammad Zahoor-ul-Haq Title: IQBAL HUSSAIN vs THE STATE Case No.: Criminal Appeal No. 67 of 1981 Date of Judgment:1981-04-25 Reported As: 1982 P Cr. L J 236 Result: Petition allowed
Judgment ORDER The sentence is 2 years' R. I. And Rs. 10,000 fine. Mr. Ibrahim opposes bail on the ground that there is conviction in 3 cases and the sentences are of 2 years' R. I. Plus fine in each case under section 409, P. P. C. However there is no justification to confine all these sentences together at this stage and it would be only at the time after final disposal of appeal that the sentences will be suffered consecutively if the appeal order Toes not make a direction otherwise. Since the sentence is below 3 yeas' R. I. And it is the practice of this Court to suspend the sentence if it is below 3 years after the appeal is admitted unless there are compelling reasons otherwise, which I do not find in this case, therefore A I suspend the sentence and direct that the appellant shall be released on bail on providing one surety and P. R. In the sum of Rs. 25,000 (Rupess twenty-five thousand only) to the satisfaction of the trial Court.
