Irshad Ali Shah, J;- It is alleged that the applicant with rest of the culprits abducted PW Javed Ali for ransom for that the present case was registered by police on behalf of the State. On having been refused post arrest bail by learned trial Court, the applicant has sought for the same from this Court by way of instant Crl. Bail Application u/s 497 Cr.P.C R/W section 21-D of ATA, 1997.

2.        It is contended by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant being innocent has been involved in this case falsely by the police and on investigation, he was let of by the police by declaring him to be innocent. By contending so, he sought for release of applicant on bail, on point of further inquiry.

3.        Learned counsel for the PW/abductee Javed Ali has recorded no objection to release the applicant on bail, however, learned APG for the State has opposed to release of the applicant on bail by contending that the offence which allegedly has been committed by the applicant is affecting the society at large.

4.        Heard arguments and perused the record.

5.        The FIR of the incident is lodged on behalf of the State by ASI Aijaz Ali Gadani, which appears to be surprising. PW/abductee Javed Ali and his father PW Mehar by filing their affidavits have recorded no objection to released of the applicant on bail by stating therein that he was not implicated by them before the police. No ransom is paid. The case is challaned finally and there is no apprehension of the tempering with the evidence on the part of the applicant. In these circumstances, a case for release of the applicant on bail, on point of further inquiry obviously is made out.

6.        In view of above the applicant is admitted to bail subject to furnishing their solvent surety in sum of Rs.200,000/- (Two lac) and P.R bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of learned trial Court.

7.        Above are the reasons of short order of even date, whereby the instant bail application was allowed.
