Abdul Razzaq Bailiff of this Court had produced record of bail application of Iqbal Hussain respondent in case F.I.R. No. 215 of 2006 dated 1-3-2006 registered under Sections' 506, 420, 468, 471, P.P.C. This is second application for bail before arrest before the learned Sessions Judge; Lahore. His earlier application was dismissed for non-prosecution. In fact after dismissal of his earlier application for non-prosecution on 27-4-2006 petitioner applied for bail before arrest. This Court granted him interim bail before arrest on 4-3-2006 and the matter was fixed for 11-5-2006.
He was directed to appear before this Court, on each acid every day for hearing fixed by this Court till the final disposal of the bail application. Then the matter came up for hearing on 11-5-2006. On that day neither respondent nor his counsel was present. He even did not file bail bonds. Perpetual warrant of arrest and notice of contempt of Court were also issued against him for 19-5-2006. On 19-5-2006 Iqbal Hussain respondent was not present before this Court. Rana Abdul Hamid Advocate submitted his power of attorney but this Court did not entertain the same. I had asked S. S.P. Operation to arrest the respondent and produce him before this Court on 22-5-2006. S. S.P.
Operation appeared before this Court today and he submitted a report that a raid was conducted but respondent was not available and ultimately he came to know that petitioner has been allowed bail before arrest by Mr. Jahandad Bainth learned Additional Sessions Judge, Lahore till 23- 5-2006. On this I have summoned record of bail petition which is now before this Court. In this bail application Iqbal Hussain respondent never mentioned that his application for bail before arrest was also dismissed by this Court.
