ORDER TANVIR AHMED KHAN, J.- The petitioner through this application has sought post-arrest bail in a case registered vide FIR No. 17z dated 20.1.1995 under Article 3/4 of Prohibition (Enforcement of Had) Order 1979 at Police Station Darya Khan, Distt. Bhakkar.
2. The prosecution case in brief is that a raid was conducted on 20th of January, 1995 on receiving a report that the petitioner was indulging in traffic of narcotics. Consequent to the raid the petitioner was apprehended at the spot and the incriminating material i.e. Charas weighing 400 grams and opium weighing 60 grams were recovered from his possession.
3. Bail is sought on the ground that the petitioner is in jail for the last more than two months and the alleged recovery witnesses are only police officials.
4. Learned State counsel has opposed the grant of bail.
I have considered the contentions and have noticed that the petitioner was apprehended with the incriminating material and after thorough investigation challan has been submitted against him.
Offence falls within the prohibitory clause, as such, I do not find it a fit case for enlarging the petitioner on bail. I have also noticed that the learned trial Judge while dismissing the bail plea observed that the trial is likely to be commenced in the near future. In this background, this bail application is dismissed with a direction to the trial Court to conclude the trial before the month of June is out.
Office is directed to immediately transmit this order to the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Kallurkot (Camp at Bhakkar).
