ORDER

' MIAN MUHAMMAD NAJAM-UZ-ZAMAN, J.---Seeks post-arrest bail in case F.I.R. No,58 of 2004, dated 13-3-2004 for the offence under section 392, P.P.C. Registered at Police Station Kotwali, District Faisalabad, on the ground that petitioner has been falsely involved in this case; bare perusal of the F.I.R. Reveals that story narrated therein was an afterthought because the petitioner was, known to the complainant party prior to the occurrence but at the time of lodging the F.I.R. Complainant had specifically stated that three unknown persons had committed this offence but in the second breath he named the petitioner as one of the assailant. It is submitted that there is delay of twelve days in lodging the F.I.R. And during the investigation fake recovery was planted upon the petitioner. Conversely counsel for the State vehemently opposes the bail application.

2. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and perusing the record, I have observed that during the investigation looted property (car) was recovered from the petitioner. Petitioner is also named in the F.I.R. With the specific role that at the relevant time he along with other co-accused had committed this robbery. Even otherwise trial in this case has already commenced and report submitted by the Trial Court reveals that case in hand is likely to be concluded within six months.

Thus having no merits this petition stands dismissed. At this stage, learned counsel has asked for expeditious disposal of the trial. In this view of the matter, Trial Court is directed to accelerate the proceedings and conclude the same within four months instead of six months as reported.
