2. Prosecution story as narrated in the FIR is that Muhammad Bilal son of the complainant was murdered and his dead body was thereafter recovered from the canal. In the supplementary statement, however, suspicion was shown against the petitioner.
3. Contends that according to FIR it was an unseen occurrence; that petitioner along with Boota co-accused was involved by the complainant through a supplementary statement recorded on 11.7.2008. It is further added that the said statement is even not based on any direct knowledge of the complainant or the witnesses; that there is no substantial piece of evidence for the time being in possession of the prosecution to connect the petitioner with the commission of crime.
4. On the other hand, learned DPG assisted by learned counsel for the complainant contends that a 30-Bore pistol along with six live bullets was recovered from the petitioner and that he has been found guilty in the investigation.
5. I have considered the arguments of the learned counsel for the parties.
6. Recovery of Pistol along with six bullets, prima-facie, is the only evidence available with the prosecution against the petitioner. Nomination of petitioner by complainant on 11.7.2008 through a supplementary statement and that too without disclosing the basis for making such supplementary statement makes the case of petitioner one of further inquiry. He is accordingly admitted to bail subject to his furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rs: 1,00,000/- (Rupees one lac only) with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of learned trial Court.
