Judgment & Decree
AMIR HANI MUSLIM, J.
The reason declining the bail to the applicant by the trial Court is one of the offence under section 17(1) of the Emigration Ordinance, 1979 was that the applicant would attempt to proceed abroad by personating him as Zahid Nazeer son of Naseer Bukhs as Quality Assurance Manager of Messrs Rauf Apparels. This is the allegation and such allegation unless proved otherwise could not be made ground to decline bail to the applicant. The passport is already lying with the relevant Authorities, therefore, there is no question that intention of nature could be gathered, therefore, the trial Court was in error in declining bail. The applicant granted bail in the other two offences in which he has been charged, is also granted bail under section 17(1) of Emigration Ordinance, 1979 subject to his furnishing surety in the sum of Rs.50,000 (Rupees fifty thousand) only with the P.R. bond in the like to the satisfaction of the trial Court. H.B.T./M-95/K Bail granted.
