ORDER RASHID AZIZ KHAN, J.- Akbar Ali petitioner seeks bail in a case registered with Police Station Sargodha Cantt vide FIR dated 8.3.1994 for offences under sections 392/34,411,412,395,148,149 PPC and section 17-VI-79 Islamic Laws. The case was got registered by Muhammad Imran with the allegation that on the fateful day for unknown persons entered his house under the threat of bodily hurt. They robbed the first informant and other inmates of the house of their valuables and decamped.
2. It was contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is not mentioned in the FIR nor he was present at the spot. The only allegation against the petitioner is that he was found in possession of certain articles which was subject matter of the robbery. Submits that it is yet to be established whether the petitioner was bona fide purchaser or he had the knowledge about the allegedly recovered articles. The contentions were opposed by learned counsel for the State.
3. I have heard the learned counsel and gone through the file. Admittedly the petitioner was not one of the persons who entered the house of the first informant. He has been charged for an offence under section 412 PPC. He was found in possession of certain articles which belonged to the first informant. The petitioner has not been able to give any explanation under what circumstances he came in possession of the said articles. There is nothing available on the file which could establish that the case has been registered against him on account of mala fides. The offence against the petitioner falls under prohibitory clause. No ground for bail at this stage is made out.
The petition fails, which is dismissed.
