Judgment text as reported

KASHAN SHAIKH alias KASHIYAN VS State S. 497---Constitution of Pakistan, Art. 4---Bail---Right of individuals to be dealt in accordance with law---Scope---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---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 Art. 4 of the Constitution.
