ABDUL SATTAR vs THE STATE

This is an application for bail by Abdul Sattar.

He is accused of offence under section 302, P. P. C.

2. He is named in the F. I. R. As the only assailant and has been attributed the fatal chhuri blow on the chest of the deceased.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is 13/14 years old. He should, therefore, be released on bail. He relied on Din Muhammad and 4 others v. The State in support of his contention. In that case Abdul Rashid who was granted bail on the ground of minority was not alleged to have inflicted any blow and the role assigned to him was that of a Jhappa. Moreover, during the last two years, I have noticed that youngsters below sixteen years have become reckless and taken to stabbing during quarrels over trivial matters. One of the reasons, probably, is the ease with which they are able to obtain bail from Courts, within a short time.

4. In view of the conduct of the petitioner in the present case that he has started stabbing at such a young age, I do not think that he is entitled to any concession. The application is, therefore, dismissed. 1972 P Cr. L J 1229 revisions by the competent authorities. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the official sources or legal professionals for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
