The allegation against the petitioner is that two buffaloes given on Superdari to him had not been produced by him before the concerned authorities and, thus, he had committed criminal breach of trust. As against that the petitioner maintains that the said buffaloes had been stolen from his custody and in respect of that theft he has already lodged FIR No. 295 registered at Police Station Sadar Chiniot, District Jhang on 19.05.2004 for an offence under section 380, PPC. The investigating officer of the above- mentioned FIR No. 295 has appeared before this Court along with the record of investigation of that case and he has informed the Court that so far no progress has been made in the investigation of that criminal case as the culprit involved in that case is a fugitive from law.

This petition is, therefore, allowed and petitioner is admitted to bail subject to furnishing bail in . The sum of ((page blur)) 1,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand only) with one surety in amount to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court.
