2. It was contended on behalf of the petitioners that they are lawfully wedded to each other and that the instant case has been registered out of sheer enmity against them.
3. Admittedly, the petitioners claim to be lawfully wedded to each other, though the case of the prosecution is that the Nikahnama produced by the petitioners has not been owned up by Imam Masjid of the area, as he had stated before the police that neither any Nikah Registrar of the said name was the Nikah Registrar in the said Mohallah nor the person who is claimed to have performed their Nikah was a resident of the said Mohallah. However, as the petitioners claim to be wedded to each other lawfully, therefore, it is yet to be determined whether or not the Nikah claimed by them is in accordance with law and as such the case is one of further inquiry. It is also established that no specific allegation of Zina has been levelled against the petitioners in the F.I.R. Furthermore, as the petitioners are neither previous convicts nor hardened criminals and as they are no longer required by the police and as they are in the judicial lock-up for over eight months, therefore, they are hereby allowed bail in the sum of Rs.25,000 each with two sureties each in the like amount to I the satisfaction of the A.C./Duty Magistrate, Faisalabad.
