JUDGMENTS.M. ZUBAIR, J.- The petitioner, who is involved in a case under sections 10/13/16 of Offence of Zina (Enforcement of Hudood) Ordinance VII of 1979, arising out of FIR No. 151/93 dated 10.10.1993 registered at Police Station Bhagtanwala, District Sargodha, seeks to be admitted to bail.
2. As per FIR, the petitioner is alleged to have committee . Zina with Mst. Raza Bibi and he demanded Rs. 25,000/- from the complainant for the return of Mst. Raza Bibi.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that there is no proof of allegation of offence under section 13 of Ordinance VII of 1979, against the petitioner, because Mst Raza the victim is herself an accused in this case. The FIR was lodged after a delay of I years which remained unexplained and makesthe prosecution case further doubtful. He also contended that Mst. Raza filed a suit for dissolution of marriage against Manzoor Ahmad, and the petitioner has been involved in this case falsely on account of previous enmity. There is no proof on record to substantiate the allegation levelled in the FIR against the petitioner.
4. Learned counsel for the State assisted by the police officer has opposed this bail application.
5. I have perused the record carefully and have also examined the respective submissions of the learned counsel for the parties.
6. Admittedly, Mst. Raza is an accused in this case and there is no credible evidence present on the record which could connect the petitioner with the crimjjjj hence the case against the petitioner is one of further inquiry, so the petitioner is admitted to bail provided he furnishes bail bond in the sum of Rs. 50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand only) with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of A.C. Sargodha.
