2. The allegation against the petitioner as per F.I.R. Is that the petitioner Dr. Ghulam Mustafa along with his co-accused Muhammad Taqi and two unknown persons encircled Mst. Bushra Bibi complainant, when she was going towards the Dera of Zafar to fetch some money from her husband, and thereafter Muhammad Taqi his co-accused made the complainant to lay on the agricultural field and committed Zina-bil-Jabar with her; the alarm raised by her attracted her husband Shahid son of Muhammad Tufail and Muhammad Parvaiz son of Mastay Khan; on seeing the P.Ws. The accused fled away from the scene of occurrence.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted an affidavit of Mst. Bushra Bibi the complainant and her husband Muhammad Shahid P.W. To contend that both of them have exonerated the petitioner and have maintained that due to suspicion his name was given in the F. I.

R. The learned counsel further submitted that there is no allegation of zina against the petitioner; that there is delay of three days in lodging the F.I.R. And four days in the medical examination.

Hence he prayed for grant of bail to the petitioner.

4. The learned Deputy Prosecutor-General has opposed the grant of bail to the petitioner. However, he has admitted that the chemical examiner report of the alleged victim is negative.

5. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned law Officer and have gone through the record.

6. Since the complainant/prosecutrix and Muhammad Shahid her husband both have exonerated the petitioner and there is no allegation of commission of Zina against him, moreover, the report of chemical examiner is negative, therefore, I admit the petitioner to bail subject to his furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rs,50,000 with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned trial Magistrate.
