Judgment & Decree

S. ALI ASLAM JAFRI, J.

1. Granted.

2. Office objection is overruled.

3. Learned counsel has mainly urged that applicant/surety offered himself purely on humanitarian ground and that he is poor person, hence may kindly be excused. He has further argued that notice was not served upon him and that full amount has been ordered to be recovered from him. However, revisional Court has reduced the surety amount from Rs.50,000 to Rs.40,

000. Poverty of a surety is not a ground and, under the law remedy is available to the applicant to recover the amount paid by him as surety, from the said accused with recourse to specific provisions in the Contract Act. The impugned order does not show that any illegality or irregularity was committed by the learned trial Court or the revisional Court while directing the surety to deposit the surety amount. This criminal miscellaneous application is, therefore, dismissed in limine. At this stage, Mr. Muhammad Iqbal Kalhoro, requests that the applicant be allowed to deposit the amount in easy instalments. This request is granted purely on humanitarian ground. The applicant shall A deposit Rs.10,000 after every six months i.e. 1st instalment is to be deposited before 30th April, 2005 and the second instalment six months thereafter, so forth so on. He shall also execute a fresh bond/undertaking before the trial Court to be prompt in making payment of the instalments and in case of non-payment of any instalment the entire remaining balance shall be recovered as per law.
