bail in non prohibitory clause is a rule refusal is an exception

Mostly asked in judicial interview
Tariq Bashir case
” (PLD 1995 SC 34)
In all the cases which are not punishable with 10 years
imprisonment or above, grant of bail is a rule and
refusal is an exception. Mere involvement of
petitioners in the criminal case does not bar the
concession of bail to him and every case has to
be decided on its own merits.
