Judgment text as reported

CHAIRMAN, NATIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY BUREAU VS NISAR AHMED PATHAN Ss. 497 & 498---National Accountability Ordinance (XVIII of 1999), Ss. 9 & 10---Constitution of Pakistan, Arts. 9, 10, 10A, 14 & 199---National Accountability Bureau Reference---Bail---Two plausible opinions---Where two opinions can reasonably be formed on the basis of the same material, the courts should prefer and act upon that which favours the accused person and actualizes his fundamental rights to liberty, dignity, fair trial and protection against arbitrary detention---To err in granting bail is better than to err in declining; for the ultimate conviction and sentence of a guilty person can repair the wrong caused by a mistaken relief of bail, but no satisfactory reparation can be offered to an innocent person on his acquittal for his unjustified imprisonment during the trial.
