No.54, dated 30‑3‑1994 under section 380, P.P.C. registered with Police Station Satghara, District Okara.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner argued that no recovery has been affected from the petitioner as such the case is false; there is no eye‑witness of the occurrence and that the petitioner is behind the bars for the last eight months. On the basis of above submission, it is submitted that the petitioner is entitled to the concession of bail.

2. Learned counsel for the State has opposed the petition. It has, however, been conceded that no recovery has been affected from the petitioner. It was next contended that co‑accused of the petitioner is proclaimed offender and that the petitioner is involved in many theft cases.

3. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, I am not inclined to extend the concession of bail to the petitioner. He is a hardened criminal and is involved in as many as ten cases of theft.
