The petitioner seeks post arrest bail in case FIR No, 181/ 2010 dated 22.05.2010, offence under Section 365-B PPC, registered with Police Station Basti Malook District Multan, wherein it is alleged that on 10.05.2010 at about 4:00 a.m. Mst. Shazia, daughter of the complainant, in order to ease herself, went to the Courtyard situated at backside of her house, when after few minutes the other inhabitants heard her hue and cry and they went to the scene and saw that the accused persons, named in the FIR, forcibly abducted daughter of the complainant, in order to commit Zina-bil- Jabar with her.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is not nominated in the FIR; that actually Mst. Shazia Bibi has lawfully entered into a valid Nikah with the petitioner and in this context she has filed an harassm ent petition before the learned Justice of Peace and while appearing made a statement about the fact of marriage; that she also filed W.P. No, 3025/2010 at Bahawalpur Bench of this Court, in which vide order dated 10.06.2010 notice was issued to the respondents for appearance before the Court on 26.06.2010; that during the pendency of said writ petition, through supplementary statement dated 13.06.2010, the petitioner was nominated and arrested.
3. On the other hand, the learned Deputy Prosecutor General submits that the abductee has been recovered and she implicated the present petitioner; that the MLC of the victim was also obtained vide dated 18.06.2010.
4. Heard. Record perused.
5. It seems that as soon as the petitioner was arrested, the abductee, under some influence, completely changed her stance, otherwise she alongwith the petitioner not only has been appearing before the learned Additional Sessions Judge, but also before this Court. Even otherwise, supplementary statement has no sanction of law and it is recent device employed by the police to involve the accused; therefore, case against the petitioner is that of further inquiry and probe into his guilt. Resultantly this petition is allowed and the petitioner is admitted to post arrest bail subject to furnishing bail bond in the sum of Rs, 100,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of learned trial Court.
