            None present for applicant

            Ms. Rubina Qadir, D.P.G.

            ------------------------------------

 

            Applicant/accused Ali Gul son of Dodo Khan seeks post arrest bail in FIR No.645 of 2024, registered at P.S. Sukhan, Malir, Karachi for offence under Section 392, 397, 34, PPC, who is allegedly involved in the instant case on the allegation of committing robbery/dacotiy on gunpoint from the complainant.

 

2.         None appeared for applicant. However, perusal of grounds mentioned in bail application reveals that applicant/accused is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in this case; that applicant has nothing to do with the alleged offence and recovery has been foisted upon him in order to strengthen the case; that the identification parade has been managed by the IO. Moreover, complainant has recorded his no objection for grant of bail before learned trial Court; that there are independent witness in the alleged offence and the case of applicant requires further inquiry in terms of Section 497(2), Cr.PC.

 

3.         Learned D.P.G. has opposed for grant of bail on the ground that this Court has already dismissed bail application of co-accused Muhammad Jamshed vide order dated 04.02.2025, with directions to the trial Court to conclude the trial within 60 days and the case of present applicant is on identical footings.

 

4.         Heard learned D.P.G. and carefully perused the material available on record.

 

5.         From perusal of record it appears that alleged offence is not compoundable; so far as the affidavit submitted by complainant to the extent of no objection for grant of bail is concerned, it carries no weight. During investigation, crime weapon has been recovered from possession of applicant and a separate FIR has been registered against him. Per learned D.P.G., he is also involved in 5 other criminal cases of like nature. It is a matter of record that this Court has already dismissed the bail application of co-accused Muhammad Jamshed bearing Criminal Bail Application No.179/2025 vide order dated 04.02.2025 and issued directions to the trial Court to conclude the case of applicant preferably within 60 days. Complainant has rightly identified the applicant in identification parade during investigation. Case of applicant is on identical footing to the case of          co-accused Muhammad Jamshed. Sufficient material is available on record, which connects the applicant in the commission of alleged offence, therefore, no case of further inquiry in the case of applicant is made out, as such, instant criminal bail application is dismissed. However learned trial Court is directed to conclude the trial of instant case, as already directed by this Court in the aforesaid criminal bail application of co-accused Muhammad Jamshed.

 

6.         The observations made herein above are tentative in nature the same would not prejudice the case of either party at trial.
