Irshad Ali Shah, J;- It is alleged that the applicants with
rest of the culprits by committing trespass into house of PW Sher Muhammad Phulpoto robbed him
of his belonging by causing him butt blows and then went away after tethering
him and others for that the present case was registered.
2. On
having been refused post-arrest bail by learned 1st Additional
Sessions Judge Khairpur, the applicants have sought
for the same from this Court by way of instant bail application u/s 497 Cr.P.C.
3. It
is contended by learned counsel for the applicants that applicant being
innocent have been involved in this case falsely by the complainant party,
there is delay of twenty one days in lodgment of the FIR, the role attributed
to the applicants in commission of the offence is only to the acceptance of bhung money. By contending so, he sought for release of the
applicants on bail, as according to him their case is calling for further
enquiry. In support of his contentions, he relied upon case of Tarique Bashir & ors
v. The State (PLD 1995 SC 34).
4. Learned DPG for the State
has recorded no objection to grant of bail to the applicants while learned
counsel for the complainant has opposed to grant of bail to the applicants by
contending that they have actively participated in commission of incident and
offence which they have committed is affecting the society at large.
5. I have considered the above
arguments and perused the record.
6. There is delay of twenty one
days in lodgment of the FIR; such delay being unplausible
could not be lost sight of. If for the sake of arguments, it is believed that
the applicants were identified by the complainant party at the time of incident
then there was hardly a need for complainant party to have tracked the footprints
marks of the culprits later on, which appears to be significant. No injury to
PW Sher Muhammad is attributed to any of the accused
involved in the incident specifically. Nothing has been brought on record which
may prove the ownership of the complainant party over the articles allegedly
robbed by the applicants and others. Co-accused Ghulam
Shabbir and Zaheer have
already been admitted to bail by learned trial Court. The role attributed to
applicants in commission of the incident only to the extent of acceptance of bhung money, which appears to be significant. Learned DPG
has recorded no objection to grant of bail to the applicants. In these
circumstances, it is rightly being contended by learned counsel for the
applicants that the applicants are entitled to grant of bail on point of
further enquiry.
7. In
view of above, while relying upon the case law referred by learned counsel for
the applicants, the applicants are admitted to bail subject to their furnishing
surety in sum of Rs.50,000/- (Fifty Thousand) each and
PR bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of learned trial Court.
8. Instant Cr. Bail Application is disposed
of in above terms.
