Judgment & Decree
KHILIJI ARIF HUSSAIN, J.
On 21-4-2006 the complainant Excise 'Inspector lodged F.I.R. at Police Station Excise at Larkana on behalf of State stating therein that on the date of incident he along with subordinate staff received information about the smuggling of the illegal liquor. When reached at the place of incident saw one sky colour car coming from eastern side towards Larkana. Complainant party encircled the said car and 24 foreign manufactured bottles of whisky were recovered from the car. Mr. Muhammad Ayaz Soomro, learned counsel for the applicant 'argued that the maximum punishment is 5 years and case does not fall within prohibitory clause of section 497, Cr.P.C. In support of his contention relied upon an unreported authority in Criminal Bail Application No.S-596 of 2005 of this Court in which my learned brother Maqbool Baqar, J, granted bail in a case wherein 339 bottles whisky were- recovered by the Excise Police. From the record it appears that no independent witness has been cited though the police had received information well in advance. In view of the above, the applicant is admitted to bail subject to furnishing surety in the sum of Rs.100,000 and P.R. bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of trial Court. H.B.T./K-31/K Bail granted.
