2. ' It is, inter alia, contended by the learned counsel for the applicant that the accused was bailed out by this court on 7-8-2006 on the basis ot rule consistency. Perusal of case diary dated 26-1-2011 of the trial Court shows the presence of the applicant, as he is continuously attending the court. Diary dated 29-1-2011 shows his absence and admittedly he has jumped the bail during the trial due to fear of enmity of his community. The diary dated 23-6-2011 of the trial Court reveals that complainant informed that applicant is in judicial lockup, Kandhkot in some other crime. The counsel for the applicant pointed out that he was arrested in Crime No,27 of 2011 of Police Station Karampur, for offence punishable under sections 302, 337-H(2), 148, 149, P.P.C. On 3-6-2011, whereby he was bailed out vide order dated 15-10-2001. Certified true copy of the order is available on the record. He further contended that since 3-6-2011 till today he is behind the bar. His period of absconsion is not more than 5 months, so far his detention upon his arrest is more than one year, which is sufficient punishment for him in order to jump the bail during trial. He relied upon the case of Zaheer Ahmed v. The State, 1983 PCr.LJ 2600; Malik Pahar Khan and another v. The State 2012 YLR 43 (Karachi) and Dosoo v. The State 2003 PCr.LJ 933 (Karachi).
3. ' Learned State Counsel has no objection for grant of bail to the applicant.
4. I am of the considered view that in fact the accused has jumped the bail during trial for about 5 months and lateron he was arrested in some other crime and continuously attending the trial Court and facing the trial. He was already bailed out by this court. His detention period is more than one year, which is sufficient, nothing adverse against him has been placed by the prosecution in respect of conduct of the accused, therefore, I am of the opinion that applicant is entitled for grant of bail. The application is allowed by enhancing the surety amount and the applicant is directed to be released on bail upon his furnishing surety in the sum of Rs,400,000 (four hundred thousand) and P.R. Bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial -Court. Meanwhile, the learned trial Court is strictly directed to conclude the case being old one within 3 months under the intimation of this court.
