Judgment & Decree

CH. IFTIKHAR HUSSAIN, J.

Syed Mohsin Raza petitioner by way of the instant petition seeks post-arrest bail in Case No. 37 registered under sections 9(c) and 15 of the C.N.S.A., 1997 with Police Station A.N.F., Lahore on 29-4-2009.

2. The facts of this case stood already mentioned in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 9497-B of 2009, decided on 29-9-2009, filed by the petitioner's co-accused Muhammad Zahoor Tahir. We, therefore, avoid to repeat the same.

3. It has been argued on his behalf that he has falsely been roped; in that there is no tangible evidence against him connecting him with the offence alleged; that his co-accused Qayyum and Tahir Mehmood Awan have already been admitted to bail by the learned Judge Special Court, C.N.S.A. Lahore and his case is not distinguishable from them and he so, is also entitled to indulgence by this Court in the instant matter.

4. The learned Special Prosecutor submits that he has nothing to offer as against such submissions because of the fact the record has not made available from the Government of Doha, where alleged the heroin was recovered.

5. We have considered the submissions carefully and gone through the available record. It has not been shown that the case of the petitioner is distinguishable from the case of his said co-accused. We, therefore, find that the rule of consistency would come into play in his case. We, therefore, find it an appropriate case to release him on bail.

6. In this view of the matter, we accept this petition and admit him to bail subject to his furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rs. 5,00,000 (Rupees five hundred thousand only) with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court. H.B.T./M-442/L Bail granted.
