' Petitioner Pervaiz alias Paja seeks bail in a case registered against him with Police Station Saddar, Gujrat, for an offence under section 18/7/79 of Islamic Law, vide F.I.R., dated 11-2-1993. The allegation against the petitioner is that he on 10-2-1993 entered the house of first informant Muhammad Akram, where his niece Mst. Nargis Bano was alone. The petitioner tried to rape said Mst. Nargis Bano who raised alarm. First informant and his sister came there and witnessed the occurrence, whereupon the petitioner ran away. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the case against the petitioner is highly doubtful. Argued that even if the entire prosecution evidence is accepted, yet it would be a case falling under section 354, P.P.C. Argued that admittedly the petitioner did not rape the victim, therefore, he is entitled to concession of bail. The petition was resisted by learned counsel for the State.
2. I have heard the learned counsel and gone through the file. I am informed that the charge in the case has already been framed and the case is fixed for recording of evidence for today. In these circumstances, I feel it would suffice if a direction to the trial Court is given to conclude the trial within one month. With these observations, the petition is disposed of.
