            ------------------------------------------------

            Applicant Syed Muzammil Ahmed son of Syed Ahmed Hussain seeks post arrests bail in FIR No.178/2024, registered at P.S. Quaidabad for offence under Section 489-F, PPC, after dismissal of his bail plea by learned Additional Sessions Judge-VIII, Malir, Karachi vide order dated 19.09.2025.

 

            It is alleged in the FIR that applicant has issued a Cheque in favour of complainant to the tune of Rs.800,000/-; co-accused Naveed has also issued Cheque of Rs.1,100,000/- to the complainant. During investigation, co-accused Naveed was admitted to post arrest bail on the ground of no objection given by complainant in his favour.

 

            Learned counsel for applicant submits that applicant is behind the bar since last 9 months, without any progress in trial. He further submits that applicant is suffering from kidney problem, such report has been submitted by the Medical Officer of Central Prison and Correctional Facility, Karachi, which reveals that applicant needs dialysis if needed. He further submits that the applicant is suffering from renal disease and he needs dialysis, which is very difficult from inside the jail.

 

            Learned A.P.G. opposed for grant of bail on the ground that applicant has given cheque to the complainant, which upon submission to the Bank was dishonoured, hence he is involved in an offence under Section 489-F, PPC.

 

            Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.P.G. and perused the material available on record.

 

            It is matter of record that co-accused Naveed has already been admitted to bail by learned trial Court vide order dated 27.04.2024 on the ground of no objection extended by complainant in his favour. It has come on record that applicant is suffering from renal disease and as per the report of Medical Officer, Central Prison, Karachi he might need dialysis due to his critical condition and such treatment is very difficult inside the jail. Therefore, the applicant/accused is admitted to post arrest bail, subject to his furnishing solvent surety in the sum of Rs.100,000/- and P.R. bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court.

            Needless to mention here that the observations made hereinabove are tentative in nature, the same would not influence the trial Court while deciding the case of the applicant/accused on merits.

 

            Instant criminal bail application is disposed of in the above terms.
