Judgment text as reported

MAJID ALI VS State S. 497---Bail---"Reasonable grounds"---Scope---While it is not for a court to conduct anything in the nature of preliminary trial at bail stage to consider the probability of accused person's guilt or innocence---Court is to ascertain as to whether there exist any reasonable grounds upon which its belief can be founded to look on the materials placed before it by the Investigating Agency and be prima facie satisfied that some tangible evidence can be offered which if left un-rebutted may lead to the inference of guilt before it can come to the conclusion that this discretion no longer exists---Such evidently means that the discretion of the Court in refusing bail in cases of offences punishable with death or transportation is wrested away only after the Investigating Agency satisfies the Court prima facie that there are reasonable grounds in the case which if not rebutted would lead to the inference of guilt of accused persons.
