ORDER

On 4-7-2000 Bashir Ahmad A.S.I. Lodged the instant case F.I.R. On the basis that he came to know that Mst. Sarryya Bibi wife of Muhammad Boota had illicit relations with the present petitioner. He alongwith other police officials raided the Baithak of Nadir Khan and he found both of them committing zina with each other.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been falsely involved in this case, that report of the chemical examiner is negative in nature.

3. Learned counsel for the State on the other hand, is not in a position to rebut the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner.

4. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. Complainant in this case is an A.S.I., Muhammad Boota the alleged husband of Mst. Sarryya Bibi, never appeared before the police to make any allegation against the petitioner. Learned counsel had stated before this Court that in fact petitioner had submitted an application against the S.H.O. Of concerned Police Station and due to this grudge, he being revengeful got a case registered through Bashir Ahmad A.S.I. Against the petitioner. Report of Chemical Examiner is negative. On my query whether Mst. Sarryya co-accused is in jail or not, the answer is that she is still in jail. Police had no authority to enter into the house of any citizen without any search warrant in this regard. In this view of the matter this petition is accepted. I also take a suo motu notice in regard to Mst. Sarryya Bibi co-accused and allow bail to the petitioner and his co---accused Mst. Sarryya Bibi, in the sum of Rs.10,000 each with one surety each in the like amount to the satisfaction of trial Court. D.R. (Judicial) is directed to send the copy of this order to learned trial Court who will inform the heirs of Mst. Sarryya Bibi within three days.
