' MUHAMMAD FARRUKH MAHMUD, J.---Gulfam-petitioner has sought post-arrest bail in case F.I.R.
No,545, registered at Police Station New Multan, for offences under sections 380/ 457/411, P.P.C.
2. According to F.I.R., when the complainant went to his factory on 20-10-2003, he found that lock of the room had been broken and 7 mm rifle along with 25 live bullets, car tape recorder and another tape recorder along with Rs,7,200 had been stolen. During investigation the petitioner led to the recovery of allegedly stolen-tape recorder on 7-12-2005 from the bushes.
3. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and gone through the record. It has been noticed that the matter was reported to the police after an unexplained delay of eight days; it is revolting to the common sense to believe that a thief would keep the stolen property in the bushes for more than two years, neither he used it himself nor sold it; and the petitioner is not named in the F.I.R. In these circumstances, I am inclined to admit the petitioner to bail, subject to his furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rupees Fifty Thousand, with one surety, in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the trial Court.
