This petition has been moved by Mazhar Iqbal accused in case FIR No. 132/2018 dated 14.03.2018 under Sections 337-A(ii), 337-F(i), 148, 149 PPC registered at Police Station Saddar Mian Channu District Khanewal seeking pre-arrest bail.
2. Arguments heard and record perused.
3. Allegation against petitioner , as per FIR, is that he gave a blow with hatchet on head of the complainant.
According to MLC of complainant, injury on his head was a lacerated wound. Thereafter , complainant got recorded supplementary statement, whereby he exonerated the petitioner and stated that in fact Dilshad co-accused gave a blow with Danda on his head. Said Dilshad has already been allowed pre-arrest bail. In such backdrop, false implication of petitioner cannot be ruled out. So, sending the petitioner to police custody at this stage would serve no useful purpose. Therefore, petition in hand is allowed and ad-interim pre-arrest bail already granted to the petitioner by this Court is confirmed, subject to his furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rs. 1,00,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of trial Court.
