Ali Sangi, J: Applicant/accused Imamuddin son of Qaimuddin Siyal, is seeking his post-arrest bail in FIR No.35/2021,
registered at Police Station Adilpur, under sections 364, 511, 420, 506/2 PPC.
His earlier post-arrest bail plea was declined by the learned II-Additional
Sessions Judge, Ghotki vide order dated 03.05.2021. After rejection of his bail
application, he approached this court for the same relief.
2. As
per FIR, the complainant Abdul Haq Kalwar sold two tractors to co-accused
Rahzan on credit basis but who did not pay the said amount to the complainant
within stipulated period. Thereafter present accused along with co-accused issued
threats to the complainant and restrained not to demand the said amount and
tried to kidnap the complainant.
3. Learned
counsel for the applicant has contended that there is delay of six months in
registration of FIR which has not been explained properly. He next contended
that the allegation against the present applicant is only of attempt to kidnap
the complainant and he has been falsely involved only to blackmail him because
of relationship with co-accused Rahzan. He prayed for grant of post-arrest bail.
4.
Counsel for the complainant opposed the grant of bail on the ground that the
applicant is nominated in the FIR as such he is not entitled for concession of
bail.
5. Learned
DPP conceded for granted of bail and contended that the allegation against the
applicant is of only attempt to kidnap the complainant and the delay in FIR has
not been explained.
6. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the material
available on record with their able assistance.
7. Admittedly there is delay of six
months in lodging of FIR which has not been explained properly. As per contents
of FIR there is dispute of civil nature between complaint and co-accused Rahzan
not with the present applicant and allegation against the present accused as
per FIR is of only attempt to kidnap which will be determined at the trial
after recording evidence. It is settled principle of law that the deeper
appreciation of evidence is not permissible at bail stage and bail application
is to be decided tentatively on the basis of material available on record. From
the tentative assessment of the material available on the record, the applicant
has made out his case for grant of post-arrest bail. Resultantly, his bail application
is allowed and applicant is admitted to post-arrest bail subject to furnishing
solvent surety in the sum of Rs.50,000/-(rupees fifty thousands) and P.R bond
in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial court.
8. Observations made herein above are
tentative in nature and will not cause any prejudice to either party at the
trial.
