-----------------------------------
It is alleged that the
applicant with rest of the culprits was found manufacturing and selling Ghutka,
a substance injurious to human life, for that the present case was registered.
On having been refused by learned XVI-Assistant Sessions Judge, Karachi West
and III-Additional Sessions Judge, Karachi West, the applicant has sought for
the same from this Court by way of instant bail application u/s 497 Cr.P.C.
Heard arguments and
perused the record.
There is no independent
witness to the incident; the offence alleged against the applicant is not
falling within the prohibitory clause; the case has finally been challaned and
there is no apprehension of tampering with the evidence on the part of the
applicant, who is said to be in custody since three months without effective
progress in trial of his case. In these circumstances, a case for his release
on bail on point of further inquiry is made out.
In view of above, the
applicant is admitted to bail subject to his furnishing surety in sum of Rs.50,000/-
(Rupees Fifty Thousand only) and P.R bond in the like amount to the
satisfaction of the learned trial Court.
Instant
bail application is disposed of accordingly.
