ORDER

1. A case under section 10(3)/18 of the Offence of Zina (Enforcement of Hudood) Ordinance, 1979, was registered on the statement of Mst. Zahooran Bibi against the petitioner with Police Station Sahiwal, District Sargodha, on 8-3-1994 vide F.I.R. No.55/94. It is alleged that the petitioner attempted to commit rape with the prosecutrix The learned counsel contends that there is no evidence to connect the petitioner with the commission of the crime. He states that the eye-witnesses Riaz and Muhammad Feroze have sworn affidavits to disclose that no such occurrence took place. The learned State Counsel does not oppose the bail petition in such a situation. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and perusing the record, I am of the view that this is undoubtedly a case of further enquiry inasmuch as the eye-witnesses did not support the version of the prosecution. Accordingly, the petitioner is admitted to bail in the sum of Rs.50,000 (Fifty thousand) with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the A.C./Duty Magistrate, Shahpur.

2. This petition stands disposed of.
