Judgment & Decree

ZUBDA-TUL-HUSSAIN, J.

The petitioner has applied for the pre-arrest bail in case F.I.R. No.174/2009 for an offence under section 489-F, P.P.C. registered at Police Station Civil Line, District Lahore.

2. The allegation against the petitioner is that he had been given, for the purpose of sale, Sims and cards and he mis appropriated an amount of Rs.80,000 and later on issued a cheque for the same, which was dishonoured.

3. It has been contended on behalf of the petitioner that he is innocent and has falsely been implicated, which is evident from the fact that the cheque was stated to have been issued on 1841-2008, whereas on that date, the petitioner was behind the bars in another case registered against him.

4. The learned D.D.P.P. has opposed the bail application, contending that the petitioner could have issued the cheque, when he was not yet behind the bars.

5. Be that as it may, the discrepancy regarding the date of issuance of cheque and the detention of the petitioner behind the bars at that time, is not reconciled during the arguments or record. It is, therefore, seems to be a case of further inquiry. The same circumstances may also tend to show that the element of mala fide may not be excluded in this case.

6. Keeping in view the above circumstances, the ad interim pre-arrest bail granted to the petitioner is confirmed provided he submits fresh bail bonds in the amount of Rs.50,000 with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court/Illaqa Judicial Magistrate. H.B.T./S-234/L Bail confirmed.
