OMAR SIAL, J.- Iqbal @ Baloo has sought post-arrest bail in Crime No. 09 of 2025, registered under section 23(1)(a), Sindh Arms Act, 2013 on 22.01.2025 at the Guddu police station on the complaint of H.C. Riaz Malik. Muhammad Yousuf @ Marri has sought post-arrest bail in Crime No. 18 of 2025, registered under section 23(1)(a), Sindh Arms Act, 2013 on 23.01.2025 at the Kashmore police station on the complaint of S.I. Mashooque Leghari. Dhani Bux has sought post-arrest bail in Crime No. 08 of 2025, registered under section 23(1)(a), Sindh Arms Act, 2013 on 22.01.2025 at the Guddu police station on the complaint of H.C. Riaz Malik.

2.      The three applicants were all charged with the possession of unlicensed weapons. They are also accused of robbing a bus for which F.I.R. No. 10 of 2025 was registered at the Kashmore police station on 14.01.2025.

3.      Although these are three applications filed in three different crimes, I am deciding them through this common order as they are intimately connected with and primarily arise from the robbery case for which F.I.R. No. 10 of 2025 mentioned in the preceding paragraph was registered. A separate order has been passed for the bail applications filed by the applicants and others for their arrests in the case arising out of F.I.R. No. 10 of 2025. The applicants have been granted bail, and for the reasons given in that order, this Court has observed that malafide on the part of the police cannot be conclusively ruled out. The doubt created in that case will trickle down to the present cases, as the arrests for possession of unlicensed weapons result from the applicants' alleged involvement in that case.

4.      The alleged unlicensed weapons seized from the applicants are all in police possession. Apart from the weapon, the prosecution has collected no evidence with which the applicant could tamper. No apprehension of their being a flight risk has been raised. No purpose will be served to keep them in jail.

5.      Given the above, the applicants are admitted to post-arrest bail subject to furnishing a solvent surety of Rs. 50,000/- each and a P.R. Bond for the same amount to the trial court's satisfaction.
