1. ' MUHAMMAD ATHAR SAEED, J.---This criminal bail application has been filed against the order of learned 3rd Additional Sessions Judge, Karachi West dated 4-5-2006 wherein she had dismissed the bail application of the applicant.
2. ' Brief facts of the case are that F.I.R. No,350 of 2004 was registered in S. I. T. E. (West) Police Station by complainant Abdul Manna that at about 0015 hours on 15-10-2004, three boys had robbed Rs,600 from his pocket and tried to escape. He had, however, apprehended one of the boys i.e, the applicant at the spot and recovered Rs,300 from him. While the other two culprits ran away. The applicant has been in jail since 15-10-2004.
3. ' The learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that the order passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge in non-speaking order and she has not considered that the prosecution has failed to proceed with the case and produce even one single witness before the trial Court and the applicant has been in custody for more than one and a half years. He has prayed for the release of the applicant on bail.
4. ' Learned State Counsel has not seriously opposed the bail application.
5. I have examined the order of learned Additional Sessions Judge and found that she has not recorded any reason for rejecting the bail except that the applicant had been arrested at the spot and A recovery of cash of Rs,300 was made from him. In the challan offences have been shown as falling under sections 392/397, P.P.C. These offences do not fall under prohibitory clause of section 497, Cr.P.C.
