S.M. ZUBAIR, J.- The petitioner, who is involved in a case under section 17 of Ordinance VI of 1979 arising out of the FIR No. 93/93 dated 26.7.1993 registered at Police Station, City Pattoki, seeks to be admitted to bail.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the petitioner is not a nominated accused in the FIR, he was not put to test identification parade, hence the case against him is one of further inquiry and he is entitled to bail.
3. Leamed counsel for the State assisted by the Police Officer submitted that the co-accused of the petitioner were apprehended at the spot alongwith robbed taxi during the Nakabandi by the police and they were recognized by the complainant in the test of identification parade but the petitioner could not join the identification, as he was in the hospital. In the presence of the material collected so far by the police i.e. The recovery of taxi and identification of co- accused of the petitioner, there exist reasonable grounds to believe that the petitioner is involved in a case which falls within the prohibitory clause.
4. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and have perused the record.
Admittedly the co-accused of the petitioner were caught red handed and they were recognized by the complainant. They disclosed the name of the petitioner, hence in the presence of this material there exist reasonable grounds to believe that the petitioner is involved in a case which falls within the prohibitory clause and he is not entitled to the grant of the bail. The petition is accordingly dismissed.
