ORDER

' On 30-5-1992, a case under section 302/324/452/148/149, P.P.C. Was registered on the statement of Zafar Iqbal against the petitioner and others with Police Station Ghakhar Mandi vide F.I.R. No, 101/92. The petitioner has sought his bail after arrest in the aforesaid case. It is contended that the petitioner is not named in the FJ.R. According to him, only allegation against the petitioner is that he caused simple injuries to Zafar Iqbal and Arshad P.Ws. Learned counsel also states that the petitioner was found innocent by the Investigating Officer and that on the basis of the report of the police, learned Illaqa Magistrate discharged him. The bail application has been opposed by the learned counsel for the complainant. However, learned counsel for the State do not oppose the bail petition by stating that it is a case of further inquiry.

2. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and going through the record, I find it a fit case for grant of bail to the petitioner. The petitioner is in jail for the last more than 17 months. He was declared innocent by the Investigating Agency. It is also a fact that on 17-6-1993, the learned Illaqa Magistrate discharged the petitioner on the basis of the report of Investigating Agency. The petitioner allegedly caused simple injuries to the P.Ws. The fact that 8 co-accused of the petitioner have already been admitted to bail by this Court was not disputed. These facts would undoubtedly make it a case of further inquiry. This being so, the petitioner is admitted to bail in the sum of Rs,1,00,000 (Rs, one lac) with one surety each in the like amount to the satisfaction of A.C./Duty Magistrate, Gujranwala.
