' M. BILAL KHAN, J.---Muhammad Ishaque alias Muhammad Ishaque Ahmad, son of Muhammad Mushtaq the petitioner seeks pre-arrest bail in case F.I.R. No.9 of 2006, dated 9-1-2006 registered at Police Station Mitha Tiwana District Khushab, for an offence under section 337-A(ii)/34, P.P.C.
2. The case had been registered at the instance of Tahir Hassan son of Noor Hassan, caste Qureshi, wherein it was alleged that the petitioner had caused a sota blow to him which had landed on the left side of his head. Likewise Muhammad Ishtiaq co-accused had also caused injury to him with a Sota.
3. The petitioner's plea for pre-arrest bail had been turned down by the learned Additional Sessions, Judge Khushab, vide order, dated 24-1-2006. Hence the instant petition.
4. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and have perused the record brought by Mehmood Akhtar, A.S.-I. Police Station, Mitha Tiwana, District Khushab.
5. At the outset, the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned counsel for the complainant submitted that a compromise has been effected between the parties and that the offence charged with is compoundable. Tahir Hassan, complainant is in attendance. He has been identified by Mr. Sadaqat Mehmood Butt, Advocate. Photostat copy of his National Identity Card No. 38201-1251349-5 has been brought on the record. Besides being the complainant, he is the only one who suffered injury. He has categorically submitted in the Court that a compromise has taken place between the parties and that he does not wish to prosecute his case bearing F.I.R. No.9 of 2006 any further. The learned State Counsel submitted that since the offence charged with is compoundable and a compromise has taken place, therefore, he would not oppose the grant of bail to the petitioner.
6. Since the offence with which the petitioner has been charged with is compoundable and the complainant/injured in attendance has no objection if the interim pre-arrest bail allowed to the petitioner is confirmed, therefore, I am inclined to allow this application.
7. Resultantly this petition is allowed and the interim pre-arrest bail granted to the petitioner in terms of this Court's order, dated 24-1-2006 is hereby confirmed.
