Judgment & Decree

MIAN MUHAMMAD NAJUM-UZ-ZAMAN, J.

Seeks post-arrest bail in case F.I.R. No.110 of 2003, dated 3-7-2003 for the offence under sections 392/412, P.P.C. registered at Police Station Tirkhanwala, District Sargodha, on the grounds that complainant of this case has sworn affidavit exonerating the petitioner and that he is no more interested in the prosecution of this case, though record of this case reveals that petitioner is involved in many other cases of like nature but admittedly there is no conviction against the petitioner in either of the said case; after his arrest petitioner was never put to the test of identification parade to rule out the possibility of his false involvement in this case. Conversely counsel for the State vehemently opposes the bail application.

2. Heard. File perused.

3. Report, dated 7-11-2005 submitted by the Trial Court reveals that the case in hand would be disposed of within six months and the delay in disposal of the matter is due to non-production of the accused regularly by the police. Record of this case also reveals that petitioner is involved in almost seven cases of like nature and allowing bail to the petitioner in the circumstances would amount to provide him another opportunity to repeat such-like offences. In these circumstances I am not satisfied to entertain this application, the same stands disposed of with the direction to the Trial Court to proceed with the matter expeditiously and to take all measures to procure the attendance of the witnesses as well as the accused persons to conclude the trial within the stipulated period.
