IRSHAD ALI SHAH - J;- It is alleged that the applicant with rest of the culprits, abducted Mst.Zaheeran, with intention to subject her to rape, for that the present case was registered.

2.         The applicant on having been refused post arrest bail by learned             1st Additional Sessions Judge/MCTC, Dadu, has sought for the same from this Court by way of instant application u/s.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 complainant party; the FIR of the incident has been lodged with delay of more than one month; Mst.Zaheeran has married of her own accord with co-accused Amjad Ali and they both have put their appearance before learned 2nd Additional Sessions Judge/Ex-office Justice of Peace, Kotri, for protection. By contending so, he sought for release of the applicant on bail on point of further enquiry.

4.         None has appeared on behalf of the complainant to advance arguments despite availing time; however, learned Addl.P.G for the State has recorded no objection to release of the applicant on bail.

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

The alleged abductee has married her of own accord with                  co-accused Amjad Ali and both of them have put appearance before learned     Ex-Officio Justice of Peace at Kotri @ Jamshoro for protection. The case has finally been challaned and there is no apprehension of tampering with evidence on the part of the applicant. In these circumstances, a case for release of the applicant on bail on point of further enquiry is made out.
