The Court sharply criticized the Judge-in-Chamber of Lahore High Court for dispensing the bail plea of the petitioner in a lengthy twelve page order, which in the opinion of the Court could have been easily dispensed in a short order. Terming this practice as archaic, the Court observed that the time has come for breaking away from the attitudes and approaches of the past and start judicial re-positioning with decisions of applications for bail as it is merely an interim order and should not be equated with a judgment.<\/div>\n<div>Therefore, the Court laid down a shorter format for deciding an application for bail<\/div>\n<div>\u2022 The order should briefly state the allegations against the accused-petitioner, with no details and particulars of the FIR.<\/div>\n<div>\u2022 There is no necessity to state the arguments raised by the counsels for the parties. It shall be presumed that the arguments and submissions have been addressed. In case of necessity for a look, then the attached bail application can be referred to.<\/div>\n<div>\u2022 The order should briefly and clearly state the reasons for grant or refusal of bail.<\/div>\n<div>\u2022 The order should state the terms of bail, if applicable Muhammad Shakeel v.
