Accused was allowed bail accordingly. Altaf Ibrahim Qureshi for Petitioner. Malik Muhammad Naeem for the State. The petitioner Mst. Anwar Bibi has filed this petition for post-arrest bail in a case registered vide F.I.R. No.194/89, dated 19th of July, 1989 under section 10/16 of the Offence of Zina (Enforcement of Hudood) Ordinance VII of 1979 at Police Station Luddan, District Vehari.
2. Facts briefly are that the petitioner was earlier allowed bail on merits by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Vehari, through his order, dated 6-1-1990. Thereafter, during the course of trial she absented herself on 25-2-1991. Accordingly, warrants of arrest were issued and her bail was cancelled. In consequence of the issuance of warrants of arrest she was arrested and applied for post-arrest bail which was rejected by the Additional Sessions Judge, Vehari, through his order, dated 19th of March, 1994.
3. Bail is sought on-the ground that the petitioner met an accident and due to the fear of opposite faction she could not attend the Court earlier which resulted in the cancellation of her bail earlier granted by the Additional Sessions Judge, Vehari.
4. Learned State counsel has not opposed the bail seriously,
5. After giving my anxious consideration to the entire facts of the case and keeping in view the fact that the petitioner was earlier admitted to bail on merits, her present incarceration in view of her sex would not advance the A cause of justice. Accordingly, I admit her to bail provided she furnishes bail bonds in the sum of Rs.50,000 with one surety, in the like amount, to the satisfaction of A.C./Duty Magistrate, Vehari. The surety so provided by her shall be within the prohibited degree. N.H.Q./A-679/L Bail allowed.
