Judgment & Decree

S. 497

Prohibition (Enforcement of Hadd) Order (4 of 1979), Art.3/4-- Bail

Accused was arrested red-handed and narcotics were recovered from his possession there and then

No case for further inquiry, thus, was made out-- Accused was declined bail accordingly. Ghulam Nabi Bhatti for Petitioner. Muhammad Nawaz Cheema for the State. Date of hearing: 4th October, 1993. The petitioner, Muhammad Akram Ali, seeks his post-arrest bail in a case registered against him under Articles 3 and 4 of the Prohibition (Enforcement of Hadd) Order, 1979, with Police Station Gogera, District Okara. An information was received by the police that the petitioner was selling narcotics in his house. On this the aforesaid premises were raided on 20-2-1992 and as a result thereof the petitioner was apprehended red-handed at the spot. A bag containing Charas was recovered from him.

2. It is contended that the petitioner is in jail for the last more than 13 months and that trial against him has not yet commenced. The bail application has been opposed by the learned State Counsel on the ground that the alleged offences having been committed by the petitioner are serious in nature. The petitioner was arrested red-handed. The narcotics were recovered from his possession at the time of his arrest. This being so, it is not a case of further enquiry. No case for the grant of bail has been made out. The application being devoid of force is hereby dismissed. However, a direction shall issue to the learned trial Court to conclude the trial against the petitioner within three months without fail. A compliance report shall be sent to this Court through the learned Registrar. N.H.Q./M-1298/L Bail refused
