Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD SHAKEEL VS State S. 497---Constitution of Pakistan, Art. 4---Rights of individuals to be dealt in accordance with law---Bail---Object---Object of bail is to secure the appearance of the accused person at his trial by reasonable amount of bail---Object of bail is neither punitive nor preventive and therefore, deprivation of liberty must be considered a punishment, unless it may be required to ensure the presence of accused during trial---Punishment begins after conviction and not before it, as in criminal justice system every man is deemed to be innocent until duly found guilty---High Court observed purpose of putting the un-convicted persons in custody is nothing but to secure their attendance at the trial---Even otherwise, life and liberty of a citizen is very precious and guaranteed by Article 4 of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
