ORDER

' NAZIR AHMAD SIDDIQUI, J.---Petitioner seeks post-arrest bail in a case registered vide F.I.R. No.116 of 2003 dated 21-4-2003 under sections 10/11 of Offence of Zina (Enforcement of Hudood) Ordinance VII of 1979, read with section 380, P.P.C. At Police Station Saddar District Vehari.

2. It is alleged in the F.I.R. By the complainant that his daughter namely Mst. Sajida was enticed away by the petitioner and others for the purpose of committing Zina with her.

3. Arguments heard. Record perused.

4. Mst. Sajida, the alleged abductee has not been recovered from the petitioner, who is behind the bars since 25-7-2003 and the complete Challan has not so far been submitted to the learned trial Court; that there is a delay of eight days in lodging the F.I.R.; that the alleged abductee in her statement under section 164, Cr.P.C. Leveled allegation of Zina against the petitioner and all the other accused named in the F.I.R. But strange enough they were enlarged on bail and presently, there is no evidence against the petitioner except the solitary statement of the alleged abductee which was not fully believed by the learned Court below while granting bail to the other accused named in the F.I.R. With the similar allegation.

5. All the above factors taken together persuade me to allow this petition. Resultantly, the petitioner is admitted to bail subject to this furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rs.1,00,000 (Rs. One lac) with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court.
