Judgment & Decree
M.A. SHAHID SIDDIQUI, J.
Rozdar Khan petitioner has applied for post-arrest bail in case F.I.R. No.434 of 2005 dated 7-12-2005 registered at Police Station B-Division, Kasur under sections 420/468/471, P.P.C.
2. Prosecution's case in brief is that Muhammad Usman complainant and his mother Mst. Waziri owned 9 Kanals, 19 Marlas of land in Mauza Olakh, District Kasur. The mother of the complainant Mst. Waziri had died 20 years ago. It is alleged that Anwar co-accused on the basis of a forged power of attorney registered on 16-4-2002 sold the land of the complainant and his mother through registered sale-deed dated 8-5-2002.
3. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and going through the record, I have noticed that the petitioner who is a Lamberdar of the village had not identified the executants at the time of registration of the power of attorney. He has identified Anwar who executed the sale-deed on 8-5-2002. Prima facie the petitioner is not connected with the registration of the power of attorney executed in favour of Anwar the principal accused who has not yet been arrested. It is however not denied by the petitioner that he had identified the said Anwar who executed the registered sale-deed dated 8-5-2002. Apparently the forgery was committed at the time of the registration of the power of attorney. I, therefore, consider it a fit case for further probe and inquiry. This petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail subject to furnishing bail bond in the sum of Rs.50,000 with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Illaqa/Duty Magistrate, Kasur. H.B.T./R-18/L Bail granted.
