ORDER

Petitioner seeks post arrest bail in case FIR No, 216/2011, dated 30.04.2011, under Sections 371-A/371-B PPC, Police Station City Ali Pur, District Muzaffargarh.

2. Allegedly the petitioner was arrested from a brothel being run by one Mst. Azra Mai along with Mst. Robina Mai while making preparation for adultery.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that the petitioner has been roped in the false case by the local police just to prove its efficiency; that there is nothing on the record to show that the petitioner has ever hired any woman or taken possession of her person for commission of illicit intercourse as alleged by the prosecution.

4. The learned DPG has vehemently opposed the petition by contending that the petitioner was caught red handed from the prostitution den along with Mst. Robina Mai while making preparation to commit adultery.

5. P.Ws Zafar Hussain, ASI & Abdul Hakim, ASI have almost reiterated the contents of the FIR. It is not stated'by any witness that the petitioner had hired any woman or taken possession of her person to commit illicit intercourse. The mere fact that the petitioner and Mst. Robina Mai were present in the house of Mst. Azra Mai, does not show that the latter is running a brothel or they had gathered there in order to involve in adultery. The case against the petitioner clearly needs further probe and inquiry.

6. For the reasons supra, the application-is accepted and the petitioner is admitted to post arrest 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 Court.
