MUHAMMAD BOSTAN Versus THE STATE

ORDER

1. The applicant was admitted to bail by the learned trial Judge on condition of two sureties in the sum of Rs. one lac each and PR in the like amount. The applicant has been in Jail for about 4 months and has not been able to arrange two sureties and has filed the present application for reduction of bail amount. Keeping in view the fact that the discretion to enlarge the accused persons on bail is not meant for penalizing him but only ensure his attendance in the case during the trial. I am inclined to modify the order of bail to the extent that instead of two sureties the applicant will furnish one surety in the sum of Rs. one lac and PR in the like amount but the surety will be either in the form of cash or in !he form of some encashable security duly assigned in the name of Nazir of the trial Court.
