TARIQ SALEEM SHEIKH, J. Through this application the Petitioner seeks pre-arrest bail in case FIR No.352/2022 dated 28.11.2022 registered at Police Station Kur, District Faisalabad, for offences under sections 337-F(v)/337-L(2)/I48/149, P.P.C.
2. Briefly, the prosecution case is that on 24.11.2022 at about 10:30 a.m. the Petitioner and his co- accused formed an unlawful assembly and, in furtherance of its common object, attacked the complainant party. As a result, two persons were injured.
3. Arguments heard. Record perused.
4. The Complainant lodged the FIR with a delay of four days for which he has not furnished any explanation. The said delay indicates consultation and deliberation on his pan.
5. This is a case of two versions. The Petitioner has lodged a cross-version claiming that the Complainant and his companions were the aggressors. The fact that in the FIR the Complainant has suppressed the injuries received by the other side shows that it does not contain the whole truth. It would be determined at the trial after recording evidence as to which party was the aggressor. Hence, further inquiry is required to determine the Petitioners' guilt. Reliance is placed on Shoaib Mehmood Butt v. Iftikhar-ul-Haq and 3 others (1996 SCMR 1845) and Muhammad Ramzan v. The State and others (2016 SCMR 2046).
6. In view of the foregoing, this application is accepted. Ad-interim pre-arrest bail already granted to the Petitioner is confirmed subject to his furnishing bail bond in the sum of Rs.200,000/- (Rupees two hundred thousand) with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned trial court.
