Judgment & Decree
ASIF SAEED KHAN KHOSA, J.-Through this petition Rashid Mehmood petitioner has sought post-arrest bail in case F.I.R. No.588 registered at Police Station Sadar, Okara on 21-10-2005 in respect of offences under sections 452/302/324/ 148/149, P.P.C.
2. Admittedly the petitioner had not caused any injury to any person during the alleged occurrence and the role attributed to him in the F.I.R. is in respect of indulging in ineffective firing. The allegations levelled against the petitioner in the F.I.R. are couched in generalized and collective terms and no specific attribution has been made to the petitioner therein. Although a pistol had allegedly been recovered from the petitioner's possession during the investigation of this case yet there is nothing available on the record to connect the recovered pistol with the alleged offences. After completion of the investigation a challan has already been submitted in this case and, thus, continued custody of the petitioner in jail is not likely to serve any beneficial purpose at this stage. For all these reasons the case against the petitioner calls for further inquiry into his guilt. This petition is, therefore, allowed and the petitioner is admitted to bail subject to furnishing bail bond in the sum of Rs.50,000 (Rupees fifty thousand only) with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court. H.B.T./R-13/L Bail granted.
