The petitioners are charged with the murder of Mst. Halima deceased, real sister of Mst. Naziran petitioner.
2. The prosecution case is that the deceased had surprised Mst. Naziran petitioner while she was in a compromising position with her father-in-law Sakhi Muhammad petitioner as a result thereof they both decided to do away with her. During investigation the petitioners are alleged to have made extra-judicial confession before Ali Muhammad and Faiz Muhammad. They are further alleged to have led to the recovery of blood-stained clothes, not sufficient to prove the murder by the petitioners. Sakhi Muhammad petitioner led to the recovery of blood-stained Chhuri.
3. Bail is urged on the grounds that there is no direct evidence in the case and the circumstantial evidence collected against the petitioners is not sufficient enough to bring home guilt to them.
Ali Muhammad and Faiz Muhammad the witnesses of extra-judicial confession have sworn affidavits to the effect that none of the petitioner had confessed their guilt 'before them. As regards the recoveries of blood-stained Chhuri and clothes it is stated that this by itself is no sufficient to prove the murder by the petitioners. There is no witness for the prosecution to depose about the illicit intimacy between the two petitioners. Following the completion of the investigation the challan has been put in Court.
4. In these circumstances, I grant bail to the petitioner in the sum of Rs.25.000 each with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of A.C/Duty Magistrate, Okara.
