It is alleged that the applicants and others were found retaining dishonestly the stolen cables of PTCL, for that the present case was registered. On refusal of bail by learned XVIII- Judicial Magistrate Karachi West and learned VII-Additional Sessions Judge, Karachi West, the applicants have sought for the same from this Court by way of instant bail application under Section 497 Cr.P.C.

Heard arguments and perused the record.

There is no independent witness to the incident. Offence alleged against the applicants is not falling within the prohibitory clause. Co-accused Aitbar and two others have already been admitted to bail by learned trial Magistrate. The case has finally been challaned and there is no likelihood of absconsion or tampering with the evidence on the part of the applicants. In these circumstances, a case for release of the applicants on bail on point of further inquiry obviously is made out.

In view of above, the applicants are admitted to bail subject to their furnishing surety in sum of Rs.30,000/- (Rupees Thirty Thousand) each and P.R bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of Nazir of this Court.

Instant bail application is disposed of accordingly.
