ORDER SHAHID HAMEED DAR, J. - The petitioner seeks bail after arrest in case F.I.R. No. 121, dated 21,05.2008, under Section 13 of Pakistan Arms Ordinance XX of 1965 and under Sections 4/5 of Explosive Substances Act, 1908, registered at Police Station Kakrali, District Gujrat.
2. The record reveals that the petitioner was granted post-arrest bail vide order dated 27.05.2008 by the learned Trial Court i.e. Learned Magistrate Section-30, Kharian (Gujrat). Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner unluckily got involved in a murder case later on, wherein he- absconded to avoid arrest as he had not committed the offence alleged. He was finally arrested in the said case on 29.05.2012 and tried by the Anti-Terrorism Court, Gujranwala where he earned a judgment of acquittal on 24.10.2012 after a full-fledged trial. The arrest of the petitioner was recorded again in this case on 26.06.2012 and since then he had been regularly appearing in the Trial Court as an under-trial prisoner. The probability cannot be mled out that the petitioner absconded and jumped the facility of bail only out of fear otherwise he might not have done so. He, however, turned out to be innocent through a judicial verdict, in the said murder case. Having been behind the bars for about seven months, the accused-petitioner must have learned a lesson by now, so to keep him continuously imprisoned may not serve any useful purpose. Therefore, the instant application is accepted and petitioner is admitted to postarrest bail subject to furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rs. ,1,00,000/- with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court.
