Navigating Judicial Precedents: A Comprehensive Analysis of the Legal Landscape Governing Bail in Pakistan

Abstract

    The working of the criminal justice system in Pakistan isfaced with many challenges in dispensing justice; one such thorny issue is the question of bail. This paper has tried to delve deep into the relevant laws and court judgments governing the grant of bail in Pakistan and their practice. It explores the guiding principles and standards for granting or refusing bail, taking into account elements including the seriousness of the crime, the possibility of the accused escaping. The study further investigates the implications of the bail procedure on the social justice administration process, considering its effects on victims' and accused persons' rights and general efficiency in the criminal justice system. This paper attempts to understand the dynamics of bail in the Pakistani criminal justice system and to arguefor its impact on human rights, access to justice, and the efficient functioning of the legal process.
