No,447 of 2006 under sections 364-A/506/34, P.P.C. Police Station Sohrab Goth.

2. Brief facts of to the F.I.R. Are that the complainant had registered an F.I.R. On 2-10-2006 in Police Station Sohrab Goth, wherein he had stated that his 11 years old daughter Sakina went to shop for purchasing at about 10 at morning on 1-10-2006 and did not return home till about 4-00 p.m. And thereafter, he inquired from his relatives, but he could not find her. She however, returned back sometime after Iftari at about 7-00 p.m. And disclosed to him that when after she had purchased things from the shop of Zulfiqar in the government hospital street, the present applicant along with three other persons and one unknown woman took her in a Taxi and kept her behind an unknown hill in a constructed room and they had beaten her and on her cry, some people gathered there and after seeing them they left her and made good their escape and she came back home. She further disclosed that these people belong to his Bradari and they had also quarrelled with him.

2. Thereafter, he registered the case against the above named persons on the ground that they kept his daughter in habeas corpus in a room. His daughter the victim accompanied him to the police station for lodging the report.

3. ' I have heard Mr. Muhammad Hanif learned counsel for the applicant and Mr. Sardar-ud-Din Qureshi learned State Counsel.

4. ' Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the complainant had consented to the grant of bail to the applicant. The complainant also attended the Court on 23-4-2006 and stated before the Court that he will have no objection if this Court grants bail to the applicant. The learned counsel continuing his arguments submitted that the complainant in the F.I.R. Had stated that the applicant/accused is a member of his Bradari and previously there was a quarrel between the applicant/accused and therefore it was established that the applicant had grudge against him and had registered a false F.I.R. Against him and other accused persons. He further submitted that there has been a one day delay in the filing of F.I.R, which leads to suspicion and so far, no independent witnesses have been produced, who could corporate the complainant's narration of facts. {{BLUR PAGES}} ' Replying to the preliminary objections raised by the learned State Counsel that the Investigating Officer had filed a challan implicating the applicant/accused under section 364-A, Cr.P.C. On the basis of statement of the victim under section 161,, Cr.P.C., in which she had stated that she heard conversation between'the accused person and other unknown persons, which suggested that the accused persons were trying to sell her to the unknown persons. He submitted that the victim had after the alleged incident narrated the incident to her father, the complainant and also gone to the police station for registration of F.I.R. With her father and it seems very strange that she had not informed her father about the alleged sale, when she had returned back after the incident and that she and her father had forgotten to rnentionrthis very ifierious- ident in He submitted that the narration on this zpoint in.Her statement under section 161, Cr.P.C. Is an afterthought and has been included in the statement only 'With the motive o implicating the accused person in a non-bailable offence. He also stated that even falter the rejection of bail application the accused person atmatfiberty,to file fresh bail application either on some frgr*,groundAominig to his knowledge or even without there have been any fresh.Grougd. Be also submitted that that an offence under section 364-A, Cr.P.C. Is triable by ordinary Court and not Anti-Terrorist Court.
