Muhammad Saeed petitioner has moved this petition for bail in a case registered against him under section 302, P.P.C. The allegations are that on 10th August, 1985 at 5 p.m. The petitioner caused injuries to his mother Mst. Saidan and sister Mat. Sughran with revolver and hatchet, as a result of which both of them died at the spot. It is alleged that the petitioner had a suspicion that both the deceased Were women of easy virtue. The occurrence was witnessed by Muhammad Ali complainant, Ghulam, Kamir and Wazir P.Ws.
On 15th August, 1985, blood-stained clothes were removed from the person of the petitioner. On the same day he led to the recovery of the revolver and the hatchet. The memos of these articles were attested by Kamir and Wazir P.Ws.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that all the eye--witnesses, including the complainant, have sworn affidavits exonerating the petitioner. The learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail.
3. I have gone through the relevant material. Affidavits of Muhammad Ali complainant, Ghulam, Kamir and Wazir P.Ws. Have been placed on the file which are to the effect that both the deceased were women of easy virtue and both of them were killed in dark hours by a person who had muffled his face and head and that Muhammad Saeed petitioner was not present at the spot nor had caused any injury to them. In the affidavits it has been further stated that the culprit had left the revolver and the hatchet at the spot and these were recovered from the petitioner. The order of the learned Additional Sessions Judge shows that the complainant and aforementioned Ghulam, Kamir and Wazir appeared in Court to verify the facts stated in their affidavits. In the circumstances, I feel inclined to the view that a case for the enlargement of the petitioner is made out. I, therefore, admit him to bail in the sum of Rs.25,000 with two sureties in the like amount to the satisfaction of Assistant Commissioner/ Duty Magistrate, Okara.
