In the police firing case, Justice Jamal Mandokhail remarked, "Don’t these people fear Allah? What do half-fry and full-fry mean?"
ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 11th Sep, 2026) The Supreme Court of Pakistan has granted bail to Irshad, an accused in a case involving firing at police personnel. The case was heard by Justice Jamal Mandokhail.
During the hearing, the accused’s lawyer, Mutiullah, argued that the case had been registered after his client’s arrest. Justice Jamal Mandokhail noted that the accused was fortunate that the bullet fired by his accomplice had struck only the leg and that the accused had not been killed by firing from his accomplice.
The state prosecutor informed the court that more than 16 cases had previously been registered against the accused. Justice Jamal Mandokhail stated that if the accused remained free, he might be killed by firing from his accomplices, implying that it would be safer for him to remain in jail.
In response to the judge’s remarks, Mutiullah clarified that his client had only been "half-fried," not "full-fried." Justice Jamal Mandokhail questioned, "Don’t these people fear Allah? What do half-fry and full-fry mean?" The lawyer explained that in a half-fry, a person is shot in the leg, while in a full-fry, the person is killed.
Justice Jamal Mandokhail ruled that if the lawyer insisted on bail, it would be granted; otherwise, the accused was safe in jail, where he was being protected at government expense. Upon the lawyer’s request, the court granted bail to the accused.
Irshad had been arrested in Rawalpindi on allegations of firing at police.
