                                      -

                  

1 to 3. Through this criminal revision application, applicant Abdul Hakeem Rind has challenged the order dated 06.05.2019 passed by the Court of learned Ist Additional Sessions Judge, Ghotki in Sessions Case No.112 of 2005, whereby the learned trial Court forfeited the surety amount and imposed fine of Rs.200,000/- against the applicant/surety.

                   The accused Raham Illahi @ Raham Ali was granted bail in the sum of Rs.200,000/- and after grant of bail he did not appear before the trial Court and jumped the bail. Show Cause Notice u/s 514 Cr.P.C was issued to the applicant/surety, who filed the reply  of Show Cause Notice and after hearing the arguments on Show Cause Notice, the learned trial Court forfeited full amount of surety bond of Rs.200,000/- with direction to the applicant/surety to deposit the same in five installments of Rs.20,000/- each.

          Learned Addl.P.G has opposed this revision application on the ground that after grant of bail, the accused did not appear in the case and remained absconder. The applicant/surety was given full opportunity to produce the accused but he failed and ultimately the learned trial Court had no other option except to forfeit the full amount of surety bond as the applicant/surety is not entitled for any concession.

          After hearing the arguments of learned Addl.P.G and perusal of the impugned order, I am of the considered view that the learned trial Court has rightly passed the order, which does not call for any interference. Criminal revision application is dismissed alongwith listed applications.
