Arshad Ali Chohan for Petitioner. Jamil Ahmad Chohan for the State. Date of hearing: 26th August, 1999. The petitioner, alongwith others, is accused of commission of offence under section 12 of the Offence of Zina (Enforcement of Hudood) Ordinance, VII of 1979 read with sections 377 and 337‑F(i), P.P.C. vide F.I.R. No.209 of 1999, dated 5‑4‑1999 registered at Police Station City Arifwala, District Pakpattan Sharif. The case under the said provisions of law has been registered on the information provided by the alleged victim himself. According to him he left his house at about 6‑7 p.m. on 30‑3‑1999 alongwith the persons mentioned in the F.I.R. and kept roaming about till 1/2 a.m. and when they reached the Abadi mentioned in the F.I.R. his companions picked him up and threw him in a truck wherein the petitioner was already present (he is described in the F.I.R. as Nanna son of Allah Ditta) and all the four persons committed sodomy. He made noise whereupon the persons mentioned in the F.I.R. reached on scene and the accused persons fled away. A bail application filed by the petitioner was heard by a learned Additional Sessions Judge, Arifwala, who dismissed the same on 24‑7‑1999.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is a delay of five days in the lodging of F.I.R., for which there is no plausible explanation besides during successive investigations the petitioner has been found to be innocent by the Investigating Agency. This contention of the learned counsel is affirmed by the learned State Counsel. The medical report upon examination of the alleged victim is also negative. In this view of the matter, I find that the case of the petitioner is that of further inquiry. Therefore, I admit him to bail subject to his furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rs:30,000 with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Duty/Judicial Magistrate, Arifwala. H.B.T./A‑25/L Bail granted.
