1. ' The petitioner was nominated in direct Complaint No,1 of 2009 (Haji Allah Warrayo v. S.H.O.
2. Khamiso Khan and others) pending before Anti-Terrorism Court, Khairpur. The petitioner seeks transfer of the said direct complaint to another Court on the ground, inter alia, that the Presiding Officer took him into the custody and sent to Jail without his fault on account of his refusal to accede to his demand of illegal gratification.
3. ' Notices were issued to the learned counsel for the complainant as well as Advocate-General, Sindh learned A.A.-G. And the counsel for the complainant are in attendance who opposed the instant transfer application.
4. ' It appears that the direct complaint was made on 14-4-2009 and it was registered on 21-4-2009.
5. The bailable warrants were repeatedly issued against the petitioner followed by non-bailable warrants through DSP/DIG and PRO on 2-6-2009. He however, surrendered before this Court to seek protective bail which was granted on 3-7-2009. He, thereafter, surrendered before the learned trial Court to seek bail on 7-7-2009. The interim bail was granted by the learned trial Court and later on after the hearing the same was dismissed on 14-7-2009 and the petitioner was remanded back to jail. It also appears from the record that the petitioner was extended bail after arrest by the trial Court on 21-7-2008 and he is still on bail.
6. It is stated that charge has not yet been framed and the matter is pending. We do not see any impropriety in the order and the proceedings adopted by the learned Court below. As regards the allegation of demanding illegal gratification appears to be falsified in view of the facts that in a short span of time he was remanded back to jail on 14-7-2009 and he was extended bail after arrest on 21-7-2009.
7. ' Under the circumstances, the instant application is dismissed with the direction to the learned trial Court to proceed with the matter expeditiously and the applicant present in Court is also directed to attend the proceedings before the trial Court regularly and cooperate for conclusion of the trial in accordance with law.
