Nadeem Abbas, petitioner seeks his release on bail in case FIR No, 470 dated 23.04.2010 registered under Sections 395 and 412, PPC with Police Station Peoples Colony District Faisalabad containing an allegation that he alongwith his co-accused had snatched cash, mobile phones, motorcycle and gold ornaments etc.
2. After having heard learned counsel for the parties and .perusing the record, it is noticed that the petitioner is facing incarceration for the last more than two years whose trial could not be concluded as yet. Needless to say that early trial of a person is his statutory right. Further, the petitioner is not a nominated accused of the FIR who was introduced in the case through a supplementary statement which does not disclose source of identification of petitioner. Motorcycle although has been recovered but it is a joint recovery rendering it inadmissible in evidence. The submission of learned counsel for the complainant that the petitioner is having record of 11-cases is untenable for the reason that the prosecution could not place on record anything suggesting that he was ever convicted in any of those cases. Even otherwise, mere registration of FIRs is no ground for refusing relief of bail which is otherwise made out from the facts of the case.
3. In view of the above, this petition is allowed and Nadeem Abbas, petitioner is admitted to bail subject to his furnishing bail-bonds in the sum of Rs,100,000/- (Rupees One hundred thousand only) with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of learned trial Court.
