Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD AZEEM VS State S.514---Procedure on forfeiture of bond---Scope---appellant, who was released on bail pending final decision in his appeal, did not attend a single hearing of the court for nearly two and a half years---Several notices to the surety were given under S.514, Cr.P.C., who neither produced the appellant nor gave a satisfactory explanation as to why his surety should not be forfeited---Surety was supposed to ensure that the person granted bail was produced before the court on each and every date of hearing---Such was a very serious obligation / responsibility to be undertaken by a surety and it was not to be taken lightly---Showing leniency to the surety would encourage people to act as surety who had no serious or genuine interest in ensuring the person granted bail appeared before the court knowing that there would be no consequences for them if the person on bail absconded---Surety bond was forfeited, in circumstance---Bail granted to the appellant was withdrawn/cancelled and he was ordered to be arrested and returned to prison custody to serve out his remaining sentence.
