Judgment text as reported

GHULAM QADIR VS State S. 498---Constitution of Pakistan, Art. 185(3)---Penal Code (XLV of 1860), S. 324---Murderous assault---Pre-arrest bail, refusal of---Contents of the First Information Report (FIR) supported by the statements of the witnesses and findings recorded by the Medical Officer ran counter to the plea of denial and mala fides raised by the accused---Though the formal FIR was recorded on 17-8-2021, however, the injured with extensive injuries were medically examined under police dockets on 13-8-2021---According to the provisional medico legal certificates, they had reached hospital on 12-8-2021 at 6:00 p.m. just half an hour after the incident and, thus, delay in formal registration of the case, a phenomena hardly unusual, did not raise eyebrows---Even otherwise, in the absence of any apparent mala fide on part of the complainant or the local police, the accused could not claim extraordinary/equitable concession of pre-arrest bail in a criminal case wherein no less than three persons endured multiple injuries, one being an incised wound on the back of neck with exposed bone---Courts below had rightfully denied relief of pre-arrest bail to the accused---Petition for leave to appeal was dismissed and leave was refused.
