Ss. 497 & 87/88
Record did not show if any proceedings under S.87/88, Cr.P.C. had been taken against the accused or any such proclamation had been issued against him

Accused was admitted to bail in circumstances. Khawaja Naveed Ahmed for Applicant. Zawar Hussain, A.A.-G. for the State. This bail application has been moved on behalf of present applicant who is involved in the case registered at Mithadar Police Station as F.I.R. No.238/94. Mr, Khawaja Naveed learned counsel for the applicant has argued that in this case number of co-accused have already been granted bail. He has referred the order passed by this Bench in Criminal Bail No-147 of 1995. Learned counsel has further argued that the case of present applicant is identical to those who have been granted bail by this Court. Mr. Zawar Hussain, the learned A.A.-G. has opposed the bail application on the ground that the present applicant is an absconder who has been arrested by the Police Officer subsequently and that the absconder is not entitled to any sympathetic consideration from the Court. Be as it may, the record does not show if any proceeding under section 87/88, Cr.P.C. has been taken nor any such proclamation is issued. In these circumstances, we are of the view that the rule of consistency requires that the benefit given to other co-accused cannot be denied to the present applicant. Accordingly, we admit the applicant to bail who shall be released subject to his furnishing one surety in the sum of Rs.50,000 with P.R. Bond in the like amount to be furnished to the satisfaction of the Nazir of this Court. N.H. Q./S-31/K Bail granted.
