' The petitioner seeks bail after arrest in case F.I.R. No.84 of 2003 registered on 9-5-2003 in Police Station Shahpur, Sargodha under sections 392, 411, 395 and 412, P.P.C.
2. The F.I.R. Was lodged by Muhammad Parvez Iqbal, complainant, regarding an occurrence which had taken place on 8-5-2003 at 8-30 p.m. According to the contents of the F.I.R. a person who was speaking in local dialect had hired a Hilex Wagon of the complainant and when they reached Jhawarian Road around 8-30 p.m. The aforesaid person asked them to turn towards the Zakheera and when they reached there, three unknown culprits (whose description is given in the F.I.R. And who were armed with rifle and pistols), emerged in front of the vehicle, pointed the arms at them and after making them get down from the Wagon, snatched an amount of Rs.1,200, the Hilex Wagon and the Registration Book of the vehicle from them and drove away. The complainant and the Driver proceeded towards Chak 82 Shamali and narrated the story about the occurrence before his elder brother and later the matter was reported to the Police.
3. Arguments have been heard and record persued.
4. Admittedly, the petitioner was not named in the F.I.R. However, the supplementary statement of the complainant was recorded on 30-8-2003 and wherein he specifically named the petitioner as one of the culprits. It has been pointed out that the recovery effected from the petitioner consisted of four seats of the Wagon, a Payedan and two iron body supports of the Wagon, of a total value of Rs.40,000.
5. Admittedly, no identification parade was held in this case and for which there is no explanation.
The statement of the co-accused can hardly be of any evidentiary value. No importance can be attached to the supplementary statement of the complainant which was recorded more than three months after the occurrence.
6. Since the identification parade was held in this case, it is clearly a case of further inquiry into the guilt of the petitioner and he is thus entitled to the concession of bail. Therefore, the bail application is accepted and the petitioner is admitted to bail in the sum of Rs.50,000, with two sureties in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court.
