2022 SCMR 267
Bail---Police report/opinion---Persuasive value---Ipse dixit of the police was not binding, rather it had persuasive value which depended upon the facts and circumstances surfacing on the record
2022 SCMR 326
Subsequent/second bail petition, filing of---Fresh grounds---Scope---Accused can maintain a subsequent bail petition, at post-arrest stage, only on the strength of a fresh ground, accrued after dismissal of his first plea (for bail)---Ground earlier available but abandoned cannot be received as a fresh ground and, thus, consequences of withdrawal of a bail petition, made at any stage of hearing, cannot be quantified nor viewed as simpliciter and as such does not allow space for a second attempt in the absence of a newly accrued ground
2022 SCMR 419
Bail---Abscondment of accused---Effect---Mere abscondment of accused was not a conclusive proof of his guilt---Value of abscondment, therefore, depended on the facts of each case and bail could be granted if an accused had good case for bail on merits---Mere abscondment would not deprive an accused of bail
2022 SCMR 547
Bail---Further inquiry---Counter-version FIRs for the same occurrence---When there were two versions of the occurrence, it squarely invited the provisions of S. 497 (2), Cr.P.C. calling for further probe into the occurrence
2022 SCMR 676
Bail and cancellation of bail---Distinct considerations---Considerations for the grant of bail and cancellation thereof were entirely on different footings---Generally speaking, the Courts were reluctant to interfere in the order of grant of bail and even in cases where it was apparently found that the bail granting order was not sustainable in the eyes of law, the Courts restrain to interfere in such matters if it was found that there was nothing to show that the accused had misused the concession of bail
