Irshad Ali Shah J.—It is alleged that the applicant was found to be in possession of unlicensed pistol of 30 bore with magazine containing 04 live bullets by police party of PS CTD Karachi led by ASI Rafaqat Ali, for that the present case was registered.

The applicant on having been refused bail by learned X-Additional Sessions Judge/MCTC, Karachi East, has sought for the same from this Court by way of instant application u/s 497 Cr.P.C.

It is contended by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant being innocent has been involved in this case falsely by the police; he is young man having no criminal record and is in custody since 03 months. By contending so, he sought for release of applicant on bail on point of further inquiry.

Learned Addl. P.G for the State has opposed to release of the applicant on bail by contending that the offence which he allegedly has committed is affecting the society at large.

Heard and perused the record.

There is no independent witness to the incident; the applicant is said to be in custody since 03 months without effective progress in trial of his case; the case has finally been challaned and there is no apprehension of tempering with evidence on the part of applicant. In these circumstances a case for release of applicant on bail on point of further inquiry obviously is made.

In view of above, the applicant is admitted to bail subject to furnishing surety in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand Only) and P.R bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of learned trial Court.

Instant bail application is disposed of accordingly.
