2. The applicant on having been refused post arrest bail by learned 4th Additional Sessions Judge, Dadu, has sought for the same from this Court by way of instant application u/s 497 Cr .PC.
3. It is contended by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant being innocent has been involved in this case falsely by the police; the FIR of the incident has been lodged with delay of about one day and the medical and DNA profile are not suggesting the commission of rape with the victim, therefore, the applicant is entitled to be released on bail on point of further inquiry .
4. Learned D.P.G. for the State and learn ed counsel for the complainant have recorded no objection to release of the applicant on bail. By stating so, they caused filing of af fidavit of complainant Roshan Ali to such ef fect.
5. I have considered the above arguments and perused the record.
6. The FIR of the incident has been lodged with delay of about one day. The medical certificate is not supporting the allegation of rape with the victim. The DNA profile of the victim is not matchin g with the blood sample of the applicant. The complainant now by filing his affidavit has recorded no objection to grant of bail to the applicant by stating therein that he is innocent. In these circumstances, a case for release of the applicant on bail on point of further enquiry obviously is made out.
7. In case of Muhammad Najeeb Vs. The State (2009 SCMR 448), it has been held by the Honourable Apex court that; "Though initially petitioner was nominated in the F.I.R. by the complainant as an accused but later on through affidavit he stated that he is satisfied with regard to the innocence of the petitioner and does not want to proceed with the matter . This aspect of the matte r has not been taken into consideration by the Courts below . We without touching the merits of the case are of the view that case of petitioner is of further inquiry ."

9. The instant criminal bail application is disposed of accordingly .
