Mr. Abdul Sattar Janwari, Advocate for the applicant.

Mr. Aitbar Ali Bullo, D.P.G for the State.

IRSHAD ALI SHAH, J;- It is alleged that the applicant with the rest of the culprits, after having formed an unlawful assembly and in the prosecution of its common object, murdered Gul Bahar, Arbab and Zameer by causing them fireshot injuries and then went away by making aerial firing to create harassment, for which the present case was registered.

2.        The applicant on being booked in such case was admitted to bail by this Court vide order dated 27.10.2022, mainly for the reason that the role attributed to him in the commission of the incident is only to the extent of making aerial firing, therefore, his case is calling for further inquiry.

3.        Unfortunately, on account of his absence without intimation, his bail bond was forfeited by learned 1st Additional Sessions Judge, Shikarpur vide order dated 02.03.2023 and he then was taken into custody, it is in these circumstances that the applicant has sought his release on bail by way of an instant application under section 497 Cr. PC.

 

4.        Heard arguments and perused the record.

 

5.        Admittedly, the applicant was admitted to bail by this Court on merits; it has not been canceled; he is in custody for more than one year on account of forfeiture of his bond, which itself appears to be sufficient extra punishment for his omission, if any. In these circumstances, a case for his release on bail again on point of further inquiry is made out.

6.        Under the discussed circumstances, the applicant is admitted to bail subject to his furnishing surety in the sum of Rs.200,000/- and P.R bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court. 

7.        The instant bail application is disposed of accordingly.
