The petitioner has filed this application under section 426, Cr.P.C for the suspension of sentence.
2. In support of the petition learned counsel for the petitioner argued that the offences being bailable, the petitioner is entitled to the grant of bail. He relied upon cases Shamshad A.I v. The State 1988 PCr.LJ 2078, Karachi and Shah Hussain v. The State PLD 1995 Karachi 209.

It is, therefore, ordered that the sentence of the appellant/petitioner be suspended and he is allowed to be released on furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rs.50,000 with two sureties to the satisfaction of A.C./Duty Magistrate, Shakargarh, District Narowal.
