Judgment & Decree
Exemption allowed. The applicant is facing trial under Article 3/4 of Prohibition (Enforcement of Hadd) Order 1979, on the allegation that 17 grams of heroin was recovered from him on 23-6-1986. The applicant had moved an application for bail before the trial Court but the same was rejected. I have heard Mr. Attaullah Khan learned counsel appearing for the applicant, and Mr. Abdul Ghafoor Mangi, learned A.A.-G. appearing for the State. Mr. Attaullah Khan learned counsel appearing for the applicant has contended that the applicant has remained in jail for more than one and half years but no progress has been made in the case and not a single witness has been examined. The delay in conclusion of the trial has not been occasioned by any act of omission of the applicant or his counsel. Mr. Abdul Ghafoor Mangi learned A.A.-G. appearing for the State has conceded to the grant of bail to the applicant in view of the above circumstances. I have gone through the certified copy of case diary produced by the learned counsel alongwith the bail application which clearly shows that the applicant has been in custody for more than 1/1-2 (one and half years) and the case has made absolutely no progress. The delay has not been occasioned by any act or omission of the applicant or his counsel. In view of these circumstances the applicant shall be released on bail on furnishing surety in the sum of Rs. 25,000 and P.R. bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court. SA./M-779/K Bail granted.
