RUSTAM ALI MALIK, J.- The petitioner seeks bail after arrest in case F.I.R. No. 199/2004 registered on 28.12.2004 in Police Station Khushab, under Section 9(b) of Control of Narcotic Substances Act, 1997, on the ground that only 135 grams of Charas was recovered from the petitioner. He is behind the bars since 28.12.2004. Investigation qua him is complete.
2. On the other hand, the learned counsel for the State has opposed the petition.
3. We have considered the submissions of both the learned counsel and have perused the record.
4. Only a small quantity of Charas was alleged recovered from the petitioner. He is behind the bars for almost four months and he is no longer required for the purpose of investigation. Keeping him behind the bars will not serve any useful purpose. Accordingly this petition is allowed and the petitioner is admitted to bail in the sum of Rs.50,000/-, with one surety in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court.
Bail After Arrest Granted.
