11. It has been held repeatedly by the Hon’ble Supreme
Court of Pakistan that Courts may refuse bail in cases not
falling under the Prohibitory Clause of Section 497 Cr.P.C, if
exceptional circumstances exist. And it will always be the
discretion of the Court to determine whether an accused person
deserves to be granted bail. Being a non-convict, will not in
itself be a ground for grant of bail. Reliance is placed upon
“AFZAAL AHMED v. THE STATE, 2003 SCMR 573” and
“IMTIAZ AHMED and another v. THE STATE, PLD 1997 S.C
545”.
