4. ' I have considered the submissions made by the learned counsel and have also gone through the record.
5. ' In Gul Hassain Dero's case (supra) 1500 grams of Charas and 500 grams of Heroin were recovered but Chemical examiner's report stated that it was 1200 grams of Charas and 400 grams of Heroin. It was held that this discrepancy made it a case for further inquiry. Case is clearly distinguishable. In Sheerin Muhammad's case (supra) the quantity recovered was 1130 grams. A Single Judge of Peshawar High Court observed that it a border line case and allowed bail. In Gul Said's case (supra) what was recovered was 225 grams of Heroin. Along with Gul Said there were other persons also and from them various quantity ranging up to 10 Kgs. Of Charas were recovered. A Single Judge of Peshawar High Court observed that huge quantity was recovered and, therefore, they were not entitled to bail. There is no discussion about quantity recovered from each accused person. In Rana Waris Ali's case (supra) it was observed by a Single Judge of Lahore High Court that though quantity recovered was one kilogram of Charas, it cannot be a ground for bail. In the present case, quantity recovered is 1100 grams. In the circumstances in which quantity is recovered must also be taken into consideration. A person was walking on the road. There is no evidence that he was either buying or selling and Police party reached him just by. Chance.
6. Considering this fact with the fact that quantity recovered is a border line quantity, this bail application is allowed and the applicant is ordered to be admitted to bail subject to his executing P.R. Bond in the sum of Rs,200,000 (Two hundred thousand) with one solvent surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court.
