Judgment & Decree

RAHMAT HUSSAIN JAFFERI, J.

(1) Granted.

2. This is a case of attempt to commit motor cycle robbery which took place on 25-7-2004 on the link road of Gambat. It is alleged that the P.W. Iqbal Hussain was on his Motor Cycle when 4 persons intercepted him and tried to rob the Motor Cycle. The said P.W. raised cries which attracted the police. The police intercepted the robbers, there was exchange of harsh words and fighting in between the robbers and the police. The police were successful in apprehending one robber namely Aijaz the other robbers ran away. In the meanwhile D.S.P. came and chased the robbers but was unsuccessful. The learned Advocate for the applicant has stated that this is a case of attempt of robbery; that the story is unnatural; that no empty bullets were secured from the place of incident; that the Government rifle which was allegedly taken away by the culprits was secured from 1 K.M. away from the place of incident. He has relied upon 1999 PCr.LJ

308. The learned State counsel has no objection to grant of bail on the ground that there was no medical certificate for the injury on the person of P.W. that Government rifle was secured at some distance from the place of incident. However he has stated that all the P.Ws have supported the prosecution case. I have given due consideration to the arguments, gone through the material placed on record and found that the incident took place at 7-15 p.m, in which the accused attempted to rob the motor cycle of P.W. 1gba1 Hussain. The P.W. Iqbal Hussain has no grudge against the accused. There is no motive for him to falsely involve the applicant. Had the police not intercepted the culprits would have succeeded in robbing the motor cycle. The incident of robbery is increasing day by day therefore some stringent steps are required A to -be taken to curb this menace. If the accused of robbery are released on bail then the society will feel unsafe. It will also be a danger to the society. All the P.Ws, have supported the prosecution case. From the material available on the record there are reasonable grounds to believe that the applicant is guilty of the crime as alleged by the prosecution, therefore he is not entitled to the concession of bail. Consequently the bail application is dismissed. H.B.T./A-245/K Bail refused.
