Judgment & Decree
Applicant Liaquat Ali along with others is facing trial for murder of Mst. Sajida and Gul Muhammad. That case was registered with Waggan Police as Crime No. 146 of 2001 and the applicant was arrested on 10th November, 2001. As some of the applicants co-accused were absconding their case was separated and charge read over to those who were in custody and/or in attendance. Two of the witnesses were examined besides two Doctors, one Tapedar and Mashir. Further progress in the trial is held up due to absconsion of complainant Hassan Ali who is accused in another murder case registered as Crime No.53 of 2003, Police Station Warrah. The applicant tiled an application for bail on the ground that progress in the trial was held up and he was in jail since November, 2003. His plea was turned down by order, dated 1-9-2004 whereafter present application has been filed. Heard arguments. The two deceased had 17 fire-arm injuries which were directly attributed to applicant Liaquat Ali and co-accused Muhammad and Nahal. Muhammad Has been released on bail by this Court. The applicant is in jail since 10-11-2001. It is also a fact that complainant Hassan Ali is the eye-witness and he is absconding as accused in another case. Thus, the progress in the trial has become uncertain and it is not known as to when the trial shall be concluded. Obviously the scheme of the law is not to close the case and end it without examining the material eye-witness. In such circumstances the applicant deserves the concession of bail. Bail granted to him he shall be released on furnishing solvent surety in the sum of Rs.3,00,000 (three lacs only) in the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court. H.B.T./L-14/K Bail granted.
