IRSHAD ALI SHAH, J.- It is alleged that the applicant with rest of the culprits in furtherance of their common intention, tampered with Petroleum pipeline of PARCO by applying clip therein, with intention to commit theft of oil/petrol there-from, for that the present case was registered.

2.                    On having been refused post-arrest bail by learned trial Court, the applicant has sought for the same from this Court by way of instant application under section 497 Cr.PC.

3.                    It is contended by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant being innocent has been involved in this case falsely by the police, there is delay of two days in lodging of the FIR yet the name of applicant is not appearing therein. By contending so, he sought for release of the applicant on bail, as according to him, his case is calling of further enquiry.

4.                    Learned A.P.G for the State has opposed to grant of bail to the applicant by contending that he has committed the offence which is affecting the national interest.

5.                    I have considered the above arguments and perused the record.

6.                    The name of the applicant is not appearing in the FIR, though it is lodged with delay of about two days to the incident, which appears to be significant. The applicant apparently has been involved in this case by the police mainly for the reason that he is having landed property surrounding the place of incident, which too appears to be significant, even otherwise as per report of Mukhtiarkar Larkana, the applicant is having no landed property surrounding the place of incident. In these circumstances, the guilt of the applicant obviously is calling for further enquiry. 

7.                    In view of facts and reasons discussed above, the applicant is admitted to bail subject to his furnishing surety in the sum of Rs.50,000/- and P.R bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of learned trial Court.  

8.                    The instant application is disposed of accordingly.
