KHALIL-UR-RAHMAN RAMDAY, J.-The petitioner is alleged to have murdered one Mst. Rukkyia Bibi by throwing acid on her on the night between 7th and 8th of November, 1993. The motive divulged for the said murder was that the petitioner had developed immoral liaison with Mst. Rubina who was a younger sister of Mst. Rukkyia deceased and the deceased lady used to object to the petitioner's visits to their house and used to forbid the petitioner from continuing with the said illicit liaison.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner canvasses bail on the ground that the murder in question had in fact been committed by another person who was interested in marrying another sister of Mst. Rukkyia deceased, namely, Mst. Zulekha who had been married OF about 2/3 days prior to the present occurrence and that it was this person who had thrown acid on Mst. Rukkyia Bibi to avenge the marriage of Mst. Rukkyia Bibi to some other person and that in order to avoid embarrassment in naming the actual culprit which would have involved humiliation of the family, the complainant father had nominated the present petitioner as a substitute for the actual killer.
3. This explanation does not inspire confidence. The complainant who was the father of Mst.
Rukkyia deceased had reported in unequivocal terms that the cause for the murder of his daughter Mst. Rukkyia Bibi was the petitioner's immoral liaison with another young and un-married daughter of the complainant and having given this explanation for the murder, the complainant had fully exposed himself and his family to humiliation and disgrace of any therefore, the submission that the actual murder had not been named only to avoid embarrassment to one of the daughters of the complainant, is not a reasonable explanation of the alleged false involvement of the petitioner in the occurrence in question. The petitioner is specifically nominated in the FIR being the only person responsible for the murder and no reason thus exists to release him on bail.
4. This petitioner is, therefore, dismissed but nothing observed herein shall be taken as a determination of any question of fact relating to the occurrence in question.
