Judgment & Decree
S.497--Penal Code (XLV of 1860), Ss.109,' 205, 419, 420, 468, 471, 409 & 467--Bail--Delay in trial--Accused allegedly in habit of impersonating himself as an advocate and thereby obtaining illegal money from innocent public seeking bail on ground of delay in trial--No material available to support allegations made against him--Accused in jail since his arrest and sought no adjournment thereby causing any delay in conclusion of trial--Bail allowed on ground of delay. K.M. Nadeem for Applicant. Muhammad Ibrahim Memon, Addl. A.-G. for the State. Heard arguments of the learned counsel for the parties. The applicant is facing trial in a police case challaned under sections 419, 420, 468, 471, 467, 409 and 205, PPC. The learned counsel for the applicant has pressed the application for bail on the sole ground of delay in trial. According to the learned A.A.-G. the applicant was arrested on 12-2-1985 since which he has been in jail. In the meantime he does not appear to have sought any adjournment thereby causing any delay in conclusion of trial. The learned A.A.-G. has, however, opposed the bail application as according to him the case of A the applicant falls within mischief of proviso (3) to subsection (1) of section 497, Cr.P.C. He has submitted that the applicant has committed fraud in respect of the money deposited in this Court. He has produced a letter dated 3-4-1985 of the Secretary of Sind Bar Council wherein the applicant is shown to be in the habit of impersonating himself as advocate and thereby obtaining illegal money from innocent public. However, there is no material to support the allegations made in the letter. Nevertheless the allegations made against the applicant should not be lightly ignored. Keeping in view the alleged antecedents of the applicant, I would allow him bail on the ground of delay on the condition that he would furnish bank guarantee in the sum of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees one lac only) and also execute a personal bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Nazir of this Court. M.Y.H./A-109/K Bail granted.
