' Petitioner is accused in case F.I.R. No,959 of 1996, dated 15-5-1996 under section 295-A, P.P.C. And 16 of Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance, registered at Police Station Saddar, Jhang.
2. One Umar Daraz reported the matter to police relying upon a letter written by the petitioner to one Syed Sam Ullah Shah and alleged that the petitioner had used derogatory language about Holy Prophet (peace be upon him). The petitioner was arrested and has sought to be released on bail.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the perusal of the letter shows that the petitioner did not use any derogatory language against the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H.) and as a matter of fact a few lines were read out of context to allege that insolence was caused by the petitioner to Holy Personages of Islam and that no offence under section 295-A, P.P.C. And section 16, M.P.O. Was made out.
4. Learned counsel for the State has candidly supported the plea of the petitioner and submitted that an over-all reading of the letter would reveal that the petitioner had tried to glorify his Peer and otherwise had not used objectionable language. Learned counsel for the complainant, however, submitted that the petitioner is used to employing objectionable dialectic with others and has been a source of trouble in the area and did not deserve concession of bail.
5. Learned counsel for the parties have been heard at length and the material on the basis of which the petitioner is being proceeded against is also seen. No doubt, the letter written by the petitioner is indicative of sloppy reverence qua "Peer" but the same does not appear to be derogatory qua the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H.) or Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). The petitioner as such is allowed bail in the sum of Rs,50,000 with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of Judicial/Maga Magistrate of Police Station concerned.
6. However, it may be observed that in case the petitioner is found to be employed in irreverent language against the Holy Personages of Islam the learned lower Court shall be at liberty to recall the bail allowed to the petitioner by this Court.
