IRSHAD ALI SHAH - J;- It is alleged that on arrest from the applicant has been secured an unlicensed Pistol of 30 bore with magazine containing three live bullets, for that the present case was registered.

                        The applicant on having been refused post-arrest bail by learned 1^st Additional Sessions Judge, Shahdadkot, has sought for the same from this Court by way of instant application under section 497 Cr.PC.

                        It is contended by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant being innocent has been involved in this case falsely by the police after ineffective firing; there is no independent witness to the incident and the applicant is in custody since four months; therefore, the applicant is entitled to grant of post-arrest bail on point of further inquiry.

                        Learned Additional Prosecutor General for the State has opposed to grant of post-arrest bail to the applicant by contending that he has been apprehended by the police after an armed encounter.

                        I have considered the above arguments and perused the record.

                        The firing whereby the applicant was apprehended proved to be ineffective one. There is no independent witness to the incident. The applicant is said to be in custody since four months without effective trial. In these circumstances, the applicant is found entitled to grant of post-arrest bail as his case is calling for further inquiry.

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

                        The instant application is disposed of accordingly.
